[CASL-L] Safeguarding a Google Meet

[Beth Pronovost]

Our experience is the same as Shannon’s this year. Teachers are exclusively
using the link in their classroom & students cannot get in until the
teacher is in.

The new thing in our school is students giving the class code to friends &
their friends joining the class & popping into the Meets 🤦‍♀️. They’re
always one step ahead!
