GREENBRIER

Hosting an online classroom session using a video conference tool

Use Google Meet (Hangout) or Zoom to host a live session that your studnets can connect to and interact with you and the rest of the class.  Some links below will provide more information and steps to get started.  Which of these solutions you use is a matter of preference.  Both provide a very similar set of features.  Sessions can be recorded so if your students cannot connect to the live session you can still make sure they have the link to watch the recording later

• Google Meet/Hangout
  • Anyone that has a greenbrierschools.org email address can host a Google Meet session.
  • Go to meet.google.com
  • You can start a session from meet.google.com “on the fly” or you can schedule a session for a later time using your Google Calendar
  • Google Meet Guides
  • If you record the Google Meet session you will receive a link to the recording that will be saved to your Google Drive. You can then share this, if needed, to your Google Classroom.
• Zoom
  • Start at zoom.com or clever.com depending on how you setup your acount.  If you are a first-time user, any classroom teacher (students attached to them in eSchool) should go to Clever.com and sign-in with their Google account.  Other staff members can just go to Zoom.com and use their school email address.  Contact the technology department if you have any problems or need an invite link.
