How to Have a Whole Class Google Meet - �If You Have Separate Google Classrooms by Period for Cohort A & Cohort B
To Have One Meet for All Students (A + B)
1. Verify the Meet Link in Cohort A’s Google classroom is VISIBLE TO STUDENTS.
2. In the Cohort B classroom, turn OFF the visibility of the Cohort B link. (You don’t want students using that link)
3. COPY the meet link from Cohort A and Create an Assignment in CLASSWORK tab (if that’s what you primarily use) for both Cohort A & B (just for consistency) that includes the meeting link. (You can also post this on the STREAM - you will just need to tell students where to find it)
NOTE: There are a few other ways to do this however I have to select one way that will work for everyone.
