hi everybody this is Google meat for students a tutorial for students if you're not a student
and you're a teacher and you want to send this to your students that's okay as well I students my
name is mr. Campbell I am a former teacher and middle school assistant principal and although
I'm not your teacher normally I'm gonna help you today get through into Google classroom so
let's jump right in what you'll want to do is if you're unfamiliar with this or Google classroom
is you'll want to go up to the little waffle up here click on classroom and I'm using my son's
account he's actually a student right now and he's using Google Google classroom and you'll
see all of his classes here we've created a test class just for this tutorial for you you may get
an email from your teacher that has a link in the email if you're not using Google classroom
or if you're using canvas or something else that link might be provided there as well so
let's go ahead and click into a class and let's see what it looks like so I'm gonna
click into this test class right here and what you'll see is we have the stream here
right here we have a link this is the Google meet link it's going to be meet google.com
slash either look up or a bunch of different letters now because you're a student you can't
enter the room without the teacher allowing you to come in this is for your safety and the
teachers safety so if you click on it and you don't get in right then just wait a couple of
minutes that means your teacher either hasn't opened the link yet or the Google meet or is
busy letting other students in so let's click on it and see what happens when I click on it
it's gonna open a window like this this is gonna allow you as the student to change
a few things before you enter the Google meet you can change your volume or your microphone
you can also change your camera maybe you're having a bad hair day or maybe you just lost
a tooth or maybe you didn't put your makeup on this morning either way you can turn the camera
off or turn the camera on and you'll notice over here the little green lines there not
my microphone I can turn the microphone off and it turns red I can turn it back on and it turns
green now you'll have some other options too to join using a phone for audio so if you want to
do that you can click right here and it'll give you information about the meeting that will then
call your cell phone and you can just listen on the phone instead of being on the computer
I'm gonna click on join now and what you'll see is that I am in the meeting now I've set
this up because I'm the one that created the meeting so I can jump in here is the meeting
nickname code here and you might see a little message here that says meeting nickname can
only be used with whatever your school district or your charter school or your private school
org comm or whatever is right there this makes it so it's safe for you so that nobody else is
gonna jump in they have to have a specific email like this email that I'm using or the
email that you have and then I can jump in the meeting now I've got a few extensions
involved here that make this a lot better one of them is the gridview extension and
I'll show tutorial on another one over there you'll notice up here this tells me how many
people are in the meeting well it's just one right now it's just me if I want to chat while
everybody else is here I can click on the chat and I can send messages down in the chat option
that everybody can see now obviously you want to be appropriate and not send messages in the chat
that are inappropriate the other thing just so you know is that your teacher has some controls
that you don't have your teacher can mute you if you're talking too loud or if something's
going on in your house and the microphones too loud or she can unmute you or he can unmute you
if you have a boy teacher again if I click on people you'll see everybody here that's
in the list if I click on chat I'll see all the chat now we have a few more options down
here maybe you want to turn closed caption on and that's where the text becomes words
so I can click on turn on captions right here and everything that's being said will be down here in
the text as you can see at the bottom it'll also tell you who is speaking if there were
other people in this meeting it would pull up their voices and their information here as well
now you might have the opportunity to present in your google meet which means maybe your teacher
wants you to show something to the class or maybe there's a document that you created or a picture
that you want to show everybody the way that you would do that is you would go to present
now and you could then present whatever it is that you wanted to show in that meeting again
you still have the options here to change your volume or your camera you also have additional
options over here that just talk about the meeting and then there's a couple more options over here
again your teacher might have more options than you do I can change my layout to one of these
other different ones here if I wanted to do that I can also turn off the captions from here and again
you'll see that the captions are turned off and I can go fullscreen which takes it all the way
to the full screen again I want to thank you for your time although I'm not your teacher I am a
teacher hopefully this tutorial helped you get on to Google meat and navigate through the settings
I'd love it if you'd hit the subscribe button and share with your teacher how helpful this video was
