Google Meet Ups to Connect

Hangouts Meet: Google's recommended webcams, headsets - 9to5Google
This is the icon for Google Meets, an add on available through both Google and Google Classroom.
This is a secure and approved place to meet in a virtual way for our students.

At 10 am tomorrow, you will be emailed a link and we will post a link on Google Classroom to a Google Meets conference.

This meeting is completely optional. It is an opportunity to connect with you before the holiday on Friday. There will be more planned.

Now more than ever, we are learning what it is to be a good digital citizen. So, some etiquette reminders for our on-line meetings:

1. Be as kind and as polite as you are in reality.
2. Do not record meetings. It is not lawful to record meetings without everyone's permission. You do not have that permission.
3. Take turns speaking. This will be hard at first especially as we will all be excited to hear from each other.
4. Be patient. We are learning the ins and outs of this technology. Our first meeting will show that; we are emerging in our skills.
4. When the meeting ends, all students must leave the meeting. We want to supervise the meeting to help you to be the best digital citizen that you can.

So wait for that invite at 10 am tomorrow.

Ms Powers and Ms Bridal, your virtual teachers who REALLY miss you.
