Using Google Hangouts (Meet)
Certain instances may benefit from a face to face interaction with a student during a long term closure. This would be for one-on-one tutoring, explaining a lesson the student has communicated they are struggling with, etc. Google Hangouts (Meet) is fully integrated to our Google G Suite platform.
Considerations:
- Set specific hours to be available to students
- Limit access to specific people and not the entire class
- Record and Post! - students can repeat or listen when they are well
- Tip - Making a "Group" in Hangouts PRIOR to doing a group meeting
- Tip - Add the Google Hangouts Extension in Chrome
- Tip - Use "Screenshare" to show your computer screen
- Tip - Use Chat to share documents
