FAQs for Enrichment Learning Tools by Tracy Sockalosky https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs Post questions so we can help! en-us 2020-03-19 21:06:19 UTC 2020-11-13 14:57:12 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/2753.png Questions from Elizabeth Gregg and Lilja team. gmagley https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/467902508 1) Even in the tile view, you can only see 4 students/people at a time. Under the person icon next to the chat option, you can see a list version but not with images. For kindergarteners, they will be using parent emails, so their names won't even appear. How can we see all the students at the same time? In Zoom, you can view every participant on one screen, but we won't be able to see all our students during the Classroom Chat.
You will not be able to see all the students at the same time when you are talking in any layout in Meet.

2) Both Zoom and Google Chat seem to kind of shut down/freeze if more than one person speaks at a time. Other than muting your entire kindergarten class (a feature not offered in real like, haha) and allowing only one to speak at a time, is there a trick to managing this? We will have to explain it a lot to kindergartners, who can't be seen raising a hand for a turn (see #1 above).
We are recommending that students be muted and video off after hellos and during the teacher's instructions and for recording. This helps the audio performance for places with bad connections and if they want to talk they ask a question in the chat and they unmute once the teacher recognizes them and tells them to unmute. For younger students, you may have to have them type in a code like, 77 which means they have a question.

3) Can you also address if it's possible to link Google Translate to Google meet? Thinking of our ELL students on that one, and they are both Google products so it might be possible?
At this time there is no way to integrate Google Translate into Google Meet.

]]> 2020-03-20 17:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/468218025 I will ask technology to allow access for teachers to Jamboard today. Will keep you posted on this. gmagley https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/468221241 2020-03-20 17:17:25 UTC https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/468221241 Norms around Chatting on Google Meet https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/468227668 From Kathy Krakauer: I teach third graders, some of whom are very tech savvy. I am anticipating that everything will go well during our Meet sessions. I also understand that teachers can remove students who are not behaving appropriately (e.g. using the chat feature to chat privately with other students). Although I plan to be explicit about this from the start, I know that it could become a problem and that I can remove students from the meeting, if necessary. My question, though, is this - will parents be notified that students can be removed from a meeting if necessary? Or should I let them know this ahead of time? Thank you!]]> 2020-03-20 17:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/468227668 Norms around Chatting on Google Meet. gmagley https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/468231050 There is no way to turn off the Chat feature in Google Meet.  Recommend not directing students to use it if you are concerned.  Publish your norms clearly and frequently for students.  Remind students that everything they do is saved in Google Meet and the teacher and principal will know if they break the norms.

I want to make sure that they do not use the chat feature during our meetings to chat privately with other students or to chat amongst themselves. I plan to be explicit about this from the start. I understand that if it becomes a problem during a meeting, and I feel the need to remove a student, then I can do so. My question, though, is this - will parents be notified that a student can be removed from a meeting if necessary? Or should I let them know ahead of time? gmagley https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/468237918 I would notify parents of the Norms and let them know that you can remove students from the Meet if they become disruptive to you. Here is a link to District recommended norms for teachers to use:

]]> 2020-03-20 23:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/468586533 Grace, when I did a TLI class in the fall, everyone could access jamboard.google.com and sign in with their natick accounts. It's also a free app and the app can do a bit more. We don't have it through Google Play and I don't think that's an option for the district, but I wonder if any changes have been made with the actual site that for some reason it might not be giving people access...if anyone else is trying it, please let me know if you aren't having any luck either and we will certainly try and figure it out. Thanks!

Is it easier to bring a Google Jamboard to a Google Meet. If so, how? I know clicking on the present window, but then what? Click on the tab? Then the others will see it? maclark https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/470220675 2020-03-23 00:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/470220675 Why one meeting link as opposed to multiple? socko https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/470301055 This question has come up a lot so posting this answer here:

1. It is a RECOMMENDATION to have one. You may have more, though we do not recommend.

Two reasons why we recommend ONE: First is that it will be far easier for you to manage only one code. Right now kids can jump on to meetings even when you are not there. To eliminate the opportunity to do this and create issues, easier to not have multiple meetings opened at once. Google is working on a fix, but again, this will be far easier when you have fewer meetings available. The second reason is that you will not have to be switching meetings all day. You can leave the meeting opened, turn off camera and mic during breaks and start/stop recordings with ease. 

We will be going over this in the sessions tomorrow afternoon, so please join if you have additional questions. ]]> 2020-03-23 03:45:50 UTC https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/470301055 https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/470947203 2020-03-23 13:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/470947203 It feels like it would be useful for my students to get a chance to talk to each other. I know I really value connecting with people now. But that seems hard to do with so many people in one chat. Are there ways to make small groups of students where they can talk with just a few people? It seems this would allow them to have more space to speak. That chance to chat feels useful right now and it would be more like what we do many days https://padlet.com/socko/MeetFAQs/wish/471087936 Please let me know if we find a way to move students into and out of breakout sessions.  Thank you!
