HOTSpot - Amanda - Google Meet


It’s that time of year again when review sessions for AP classes and semester exams begin to fill our calendar. In the past I’ve used Google Hangouts for review sessions but found that it was difficult to have my students join, and it didn’t work as streamlined as I had hoped. Google heard this feedback from numerous people, and they have responded with a Google Meet. You can set up a video call two different ways. The first is by adding it to your calendar. When you create a calendar event it also allows you to add a video meeting link to the event. You can share this video link with anyone you want to join the call, or you can add them to the calendar event. The other way is by going to meet.google.com and creating a new meeting or joining with a link. Google Meet allows you to add 30 people to one meeting. Stop by if you would like help using this tool or hearing about ways I’ve used video conferencing in my classroom.
