==Introduction== | |||
For the '''Lower School, we’ve recommended Zoom''' and you’ve gotten training materials from Vanessa already. Please follow that advice so you are comfortable with Zoom going forward. | |||
==What is Google | For '''Middle and Upper School teachers, our recommendation remains to use Meet''' as it is a simple click away in Google Calendar and is very easy to use/setup. However, there are some features of Zoom that are potentially appealing: Breakout rooms, more versatile Gallery view, Polls, etc. At the bottom of this article is a link to our Zoom documentation. | ||

==What is Google Meet== | |||
Google Meet is a video-conferencing platform built into Google’s G-Suite for Education platform. “Meet” allows users to schedule and participate in video-conferences with up to 50 people simultaneously, and includes both desktop sharing, and a built-in “chat” client. | |||

==Recording a Google Meet Conference== | |||
Teachers can also create video recordings of Google Meet conference sessions (although students cannot). | |||

To record a Google Hangouts Meet video-conference, join the conference, and then open the "drawer" on the bottom of the screen. Click on "More Options" (three vertical dots on the right-hand side) and then click "Record Meeting". The resulting recording will be saved to your Google Drive. | |||

Video-conferences work well when one person is talking at a time; when many people are talking simultaneously, it becomes difficult to hear or understand anyone at all. We obviously want our students to participate fully in synchronous, online class sessions, but you may want to establish norms about how students should “raise their hands” before speaking. As a teacher is far less likely to see an actual raised hand in a video-conference, it may be helpful to ask students to type something into the shared chat if they would like to speak.
