What you should say prior to the start of every Google Meet Call:
(You could make a recording or post this on a Google Slide for the students so you aren't repeating the same information over again)“We are now going to begin a remote learning opportunity through the use of video communication. It is important that we continue to respect the privacy and intellectual property rights of our school community – our teachers and our students. By participating in remote learning today, you agree that you may not save, record, share, or post this session or any photos from this session. I also agree that I will not save, record, share or post this session or any photos from this session. The rules in school apply to this remote classroom experience. Students must treat each other with respect during our time together and must obey school rules. If you or your parents do not agree to these rules, please disconnect from this session and contact me to receive information about this session in a different manner.”
