Google Meet
Google Meet Update
More than 100 million students and educators worldwide are now using Classroom. To make it easier to have classes remotely, Google is integrating Classroom and Meet, putting both tools in one place.
Educators can create a unique Meet link for each class, which is displayed on the Classroom Stream and Classwork pages. The link acts as a dedicated meeting space for each class, making it easy for both teachers and students to join.
The Meet links created by the Classroom integration are nicknamed meetings. For education users, participants can’t rejoin nicknamed meetings once the final participant has left, unless they have meeting creation privileges to start a new meeting. This means if the instructor is the last person to leave a nicknamed meeting, students can’t join again until an instructor restarts the nicknamed meeting.
Reminders for Google Meet Next Week!
- Google Meet links should all be created in google classroom.
- Delete the link in your current calendar Q&As. To do this remove conferencing from the event..
- Students will now not be able to enter meetings without a teacher in the meeting first.
- You can only send out the link after you start each meeting. Once you start a meeting you can take that unique Google Meet link and send it out through email or place it in a calendar event.
- Kindergarten will not be using classroom links.
