Happy Fri-Yay Y’all 🎊! Literacy Connexus hopes that you are all enjoying your summer and finding fun ways to beat the heat. Although it is technically still July, for many of us back to school planning is in full swing. Some of us will be headed back to the classroom and wearing real pants, and some of us will be sticking with our top half business casual in the virtual realm, but either way we all have a lot of work to do before the official start of the school year.
For those of you who will be continuing to connect with your students and spread the English language virtually, I want to share a blog post from one of my favorite “teacher blogs” Ditch that Textbook on how to use Google Meet for online learning.
Last year, nearly half the world rushed to Zoom in the face of the pandemic to keep up with our businesses, or work, and our students. But, if Zoom doesn’t work for you or your organization, another great option is Google Meet.
In this blog post by Ditch that Textbook, they give a ton of ideas on what to use Google Meet for in the classroom, how to use it with step-by-step tutorials, and ways to connect Google Meet with other Google features and educational apps and resources. Their tutorials even include pictures and links. This article is a gold mine and I honestly couldn’t have done it any better, so I had to share it with you all.
