Fiirst, Grid view in meet has been glitchy so you can also try if the built in grid view option isn't working...try the extension.   It actually has a lot more options.

When you share your screen...you can't see students...correct.  Here are two options.

You have two options:

1.  Log into your meeting (as yourself)  in a different tab and show your tabs side by side.

2. Slightly better, Log into your meeting (as yourself, same google sign in) on a different computer

1. Mute one computer or tab

2. Show the presentation (only present a TAB not the whole window or screen) on the other.

3. You will be able to see student grid on one login and your presentation on the other.

It can be tricky but maybe worth a shot since lots of people are asking this question.

In general here's how it works…

For each Google Classroom you have, you can now generate a unique Google Meet link for the students in that Classroom.

The link for the Meet can be displayed on the Stream page and the Classwork page of the Classroom so you and your students can access it easily.

You can use the same Meet link over and over again anytime you want to video conference with your students.

However, the students cannot join the Meet without you, so they can't access the Meet before you are there, or rejoin the Meet after it is over and you have left.

See below for detailed directions on how to use this feature, as well as a short 6-minute video that demonstrates all the steps.

Tutorial Video (6 minutes)

Note: See all of my Google Meet help videos here:

And see all of my Google Classroom help videos here:

First go to Google Classroom as normal and open up one of your classes.

Next click on the gear icon in the top right corner to access the settings for that class.

Now scroll down to the General section of the settings.

Here you will find a setting for Google Meet.

Click on the button for "Generate Meet link".

This will now create a unique Google Meet link for your class and for your students.

If you do not want your students to have access to the link yet, you can toggle off the setting for "Visible to students". If you turn on this setting, the Meet link will be accessible on the Stream page and the Classwork page.

You can also click on the down arrow next to the Meet link to "Copy" the link if needed, or to "Reset" the link to a new unique link if needed.

Copying the Meet link is helpful if you want to invite someone to the Meet who is not in your Google Classroom, such as another teacher or a guest speaker.

When done, click the "Save" button at the top of the page to save these changes.

Now when you or your students go to that Classroom, you can access the Meet link at the top of the Stream page, as well as at the top of the Classwork page.

In addition to this being convenient for you and your students, this is also a special Meet that does not allow the students to join before you or rejoin after you end the Meet. If a student clicks the Meet link in Classroom before you have started the Meet, they get an error saying "The meeting code you entered doesn't work".

Once you start the Meet using the link in Classroom, your students will be able to join. At this point you can run the Google Meet as normal, providing a lesson, having a meeting, answering questions, presenting your screen, and more.

However when you are done with the Meet, you need to make sure all of the students leave the Meet before you do. You can simply wait for all of the students to disconnect, or if needed, you can remove a student as follows:

Click on the "People" button in the top right corner of the Meet screen.

Find the students who have not left.

Click on the down arrow to the right of the student.

Click the "Remove" button for that student.

Once all of the students have left the Meet, you can then safely disconnect as well.

If a student tries to rejoin the Meet using the link in Classroom and you are not in the Meet, they will get the same error as when they tried to connect before you had joined.

Please note: There is about a 30 second window of time after you end the Meet that it is still technically active and the students can still rejoin. So if you have any concern that the students may be jumping back on during that small window, you can rejoin after a minute or two to double-check.

And that's how the integration works between Google Classroom and Google Meet. Keep in mind each class gets its own unique Meet link, so you do need to go into the settings at least once for each class to turn this feature on. However, once it is turned on this is an easy way for you and your students to connect for video conferencing.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
3 down: "Fun word puzzle", 9 letters, starts with "c", ends with "d"? Correct: Crossword puzzles are a great way to introduce teaching subjects, learn vocabulary, practice spelling of words, and even flex your students' logical reasoning muscles.

Whether you teach languages, sciences, math, or any other subject, using crosswords in your class is always entertaining. In this post, we'll dive into some examples of crosswords you can use in the classroom, and we'll show you how you can create your own crosswords for iPads, Chromebooks, PCs, or any other device.

Language Crosswords

Language classes are probably the most obvious place where crosswords can be useful and fun. By finding words based on clues, students can playfully learn new vocabulary in their native language or a foreign language. What's more, by fitting the letters on the board, they also focus on the exact spelling of the words.

With a classical crossword, you can gives clues about words around a given topic in a certain language. For example, when teaching about the kitchen in English class, you could create a crossword like this one:

When teaching foreign languages, you could do the same and describe the foreign words in the foreign language itself. Or, you can create a crossword that translates between languages, by providing the clues in a different language than the words:

Using crosswords in your language classroom is almost too easy: pick any set of words around the subject you're teaching, translate them or invent clues for them, use a tool to put them in a crossword, and you're done! Want to get some practical tips on how to do this? Then just read on!

Science Crosswords

If language teachers can create crosswords to teach vocabulary, science teachers can use crosswords as well to teach terminology. Biology, physics, chemistry, ..., they all have their own terms to memorize, and so they are all great candidates for using crosswords as introduction or exercise material.

Chemistry, for example, is notorious for having a lot of stuff to commit to memory. One of the basics you have to learn are the elements of the periodic table. Why not put the symbols and their names in a crossword?

Geography also has its fair share of names to remember: countries, cities, continents, mountain regions, rivers, ... Can you guess what I'm about to suggest? That's right: "Why not create a crossword for it?!" For example, if your students need to learn about capital cities, make them guess it in a crossword:

The list of suggestions for science crosswords is endless. I could go on and on, but I think I'll end it here. Well, okay, just one more science topic for the road ...

Math Crosswords

Like science, math also has specific terminology for which you can create crosswords. However, by playing with numbers, you can do some more out-of-the-ordinary crosswords as well. For example, you could create a list of arithmetic problems of a certain level, and let your students fill in the solution:

This puts your students' brain cells at work, and gives a fun twist to simply writing down solutions to a long list of arithmetic problems. If arithmetic problems still sound too boring, you can make it more interesting by creating math problems (such as 12kg of apples cost €24. How much does 20kg of apples cost?) as clues of the crossword.

Crosswords for Kids

A crossword usually has sentences or other words as descriptions of words to fill in. Unfortunately, this makes crosswords challenging to play for our youngest students, who are only learning to read and write their first words. And yet, crosswords would be a great way for them to learn basic spelling.

If only there was some way to graphically describe simple words ... 🤔

Hang on, there is: Emoji! 🙌🚀🎉 Many simple words (such as the ones from the Dolch word list) have an emoji symbol. By using emoji as clues, you can quickly create a crossword that is easy enough to play for the smaller ones:

If you're a real artistic talent, and are willing to put in some extra time and effort, you can even draw your own clues:

More Challenging Crosswords

So far, the crosswords we've shown are relatively easy if you know your material: each clue typically maps only to a few possibilities, and especially if you already have a few letters, the answer is pretty obvious. However, you can spice things up by making the clues ambiguous, such that there are many possibilities. The only way to know what to fill in is to either know a few letters, or to apply logical reasoning skills to eliminate possibilities.

For example, suppose you're teaching counting in Spanish. Instead of giving the English numbers as clues, you could simply not give any clues at all:

In the above example, 12 down could be either uno or dos, which would make 11 either ocho or seis; you need to continue trying in order to eliminate the possibilities. However, a smart student would figure out that they're better off starting with the only 6-letter word, cuatro, and continue from there. These puzzles keep them excited by making their logical deduction skills work, and they're learning their numbers while playing Sherlock Holmes! 🕵️

Ice Breaker Crosswords

We have talked about using ice breakers in the classroom to make students acquainted with each other on the first day of school. Besides games such as Bingo or Hangman, crosswords also be a fun way for students to get to know each other's names. You could use descriptions of the student as clues, and let them fill in the first names; or, you could list the first names, and leave the last names to be fitted in the crossword:

You can find lots of crossword-friendly variations on the ice-breaker theme to take the edge of that first day.

Creating your own Crossword Puzzles

By now, you may be thinking "This all sounds great, Remko, but I want to create my own crossword for my own lessons. How do I go about that?" Well, BookWidgets has you covered, and makes it very quick and simple to create your own crosswords. All you have to do is enter some words and their clues, and BookWidgets takes care of fitting the words together into a nice looking interactive crossword. You can instantly send to your students' iPads, Chromebooks, or PCs. You can even let students submit their filled in crosswords to you, and BookWidgets will automatically grade their crossword. Don't have devices in your classroom, or do you like to play it old-school? Then you can just print BookWidgets' crosswords straight from your browser.

Google Classroom is a powerful tool that allows teachers and students to create assignments, turn in work, grade assignments, share resources, have class discussions, and much more.

Classroom is constantly improving with new features. To help schools make the most out of Classroom, I have put together a series of videos on how to use this tool.

My goal for these videos is to keep them as short as possible, and have each one cover just a single topic. This way users can find just the information they need and can watch it quickly. Also, since Google Classroom gets frequent updates, it will be easier for me to replace a small video when it becomes outdated with a new version.

I plan to continue adding more videos to this series, so please let me know what Google Classroom topics or questions you would like me to address in a future video. See below for the current list of my Classroom help videos.
