3 Ways to See Your Students While You Are Presenting Your Screen in Google Meet

Eric Curts has done it again with a great video to show 3 different ways you could see your students while presenting your screen in a Google Meet!  This has been a common question these days that we didn't have a solution for until now.  This video walks you through a couple of ways that would require using at least 1 other device or monitor, but he also has a solution for those of us with only 1 screen.  This is definitely worth a watch!

Google Meet Meets Google Classroom

Google Meet is now integrated with Google Classroom.  Teachers can now generate a secure Google Meet link right from their Google Classroom page, and there is a Google Meet button within your students' Google Classroom to join the meeting directly!  This makes using Google Meet and Google Classroom so much easier.

Video-Conferencing Guidelines

New Video Conferencing Guidelines

An important component of remote learning is the ability for teachers and students to connect in a virtual face-to-face environment via video-conferencing tools. Teachers may, at their discretion, opt to record these meetings and share them back with their students to provide equitable access to all students, and enable all to review the content of these meetings as needed. We do feel there is value, particularly at the secondary level, to provide this resource to students when appropriate.

Teachers will make an announcement to the class if the session will be recorded, If you do not want your child recorded during these meetings, please instruct your child to turn off/mute the video at that time.
