Setting up office hours or small groups? Direct Instruction through Google Meet? We have a preferred method that will give you better control of when the Meet is open and when you close it! Take a look at the following instruction sheet or watch the video to find out how. This will eliminate students "hanging out" when you aren't in the Meet room, show you how to remove a student, and use the same nickname for your Meets so you don't have to create a new code every time you want your students to meet.
