Tips for Using Google Meet

 Google Meet is Google Workspace's video conferencing option. When working with any technology, it is important to continue to think about best practices. Here is a simple list of some suggestions that the Coloma Technology Department has for working with the Google Meet.


  1. It will require students to have access to high-speed internet. 
  2. Chunk your content. 
    • With any method of flipped learning or video in the classroom, the shorter the better. Instead of 30 minutes of lecture time, it might be worthwhile to break that into smaller chunks or topics. Instead of a 45 minute synopsis of the Civil War, I could do nine videos of five minutes or so about the different topics within the Civil War. 
  3. Think of this as supporting learning in the future! In creating the content and saving it as videos, you can also share this content in the future to support all learning though the Response to Intervention (RtI) process and who may have been absent.
