3. Best Practices
If you use Google
Classroom, enable
the Meet link for you
Classroom and make
it visible to students.
They will only be able
to join once you have
begun the meeting.
When you launch a Meet
at
https://meet.google.com,
be sure to use a
Nickname. This will
enable the Host Controls
and provide better
security for your Meet
Be sure that you, the
Host, are the last
person to leave the
Meet session. This
will prevent students
from rejoining the
Meet once it has
ended. You can see
how many people are
logged in at the top
right of your Meet
screen.
