Things to consider about Google Meet/Google Hangouts:
1. There is no way for us to retrieve the chat transcript from a Google Meet. It is not stored in Vault and we have no record of anything typed by a student or teacher during a Meet session. Hangouts chat is different, we do have a record of that. But not when it's in Meet.
2. We cannot prevent students from joining external Meet sessions outside of our domain.
How to prevent students from joining Google Meet after the teacher has left:
Step 1
Teacher goes to http://meet.google.com > clicks on “+ Join or start a meeting” to create a meet > types in a nickname and clicks continue > enters the Meet.
Step 2
Teacher tells the student to go to http://meet.google.com > click on "Use a meeting code" > enter the nickname from the teacher to join the Meet.
Step 3
Teacher, students join and have a great class. Students leave (or teacher removes them). Teacher makes sure they are the only one in the Meet, and then leaves the Meet.
Step 4
About 30 seconds later if the student tries to join the previous Meet with either the nickname, or the URL, it will not allow them to.
Teachers can double check this by trying to enter the same Meet a minute later. They should receive the message "The meeting code in the URL you entered doesn't work". This ensures the Meet session has ended and no one is in it. Repeat process at Step 1 to start a new Meet session.

Tracking Student Work
Teams offers the efficiency of creating, tracking, and reviewing assignments directly within your Class Team. In the Assignments tab, you can create an assignment, attach relevant files, and post the rubrics you will use to assess student work. Once students have submitted their work, you can review it, provide feedback for improvement, and grade it. Because everything is stored in your digital hub, students will no longer lose their assignments and teachers will free themselves from carrying around mounds of handouts and papers to grade. With Teams, teachers can manage all aspects of their courses in one location.
