Support in Google Classroom/Meet:

• Google Translate - Chrome Extension

• If you add Google Translate Chrome Extension you can translate literally everything in many different languages. All assignments, all websites.

• Google Meet has a captions feature that will translate in multiple languages. You may also record for documentation. Here is a short video to show you how to do this.
• The Nod extension for Google Meet allows students to respond with emoji reactions.
• Meet Enhancement Suite allows you to set defaults in Google Meet to allow grid view, push to talk, auto join, auto mute, auto captions, and auto video off.
• Wait time: Awkward is good. The average student will be able to formulate a response to a question in about 10 seconds.
• Talk & Comment: This Chrome extension allows you to give oral feedback quickly and easily and can be an excellent supplement to written feedback.
• Mote: This one may be a better alternative to Talk & Comment.
• Meet Classroom Extension: This one provides a whiteboard to draw or type type to present to students.
• Meet Attendance: This extension from Clay Smith allows you to easily keep track of everyone that attended a Google Meet.
