If they sign the CT agreement, I think our IT Dept. would be able to remotely install the Apps on all of the district Chromebooks. That's what they've done in the past, and that solves the problem of the kids having to install it themselves, which can be problematic.

Hi David,
Is your IT dept planning to make these useful Meet extensions part of the standard chrome set up for everyone in your district? Seems like you have to ask the kids on by one to install the same extension to get it to work properly.

This looks like a great extension. I shared this with my IT department, and was told that this company has not yet signed off on the CT Data Privacy Agreement. He has sent them a request to sign the CT Data Privacy Form. Hopefully, the company will do so.

If you would like the ðŸ™‹"raise hand" feature in Google Meet, then here is an easy way to get it added in.  Use the Nod extension, which allows students to "raise hand" during a Google Meet. This can be very helpful if you have a large group. 

Below are the steps to get the extension and the info about why you may want it:
1. You and students need to add the extension. (Only those who have it can use/see the hand raised feature)
2. The extension gives the ability for a student to raise their hand, give a thumb's up, applaud, and a couple of other emojis. 
3. Teachers can have all students muted, ask a question and have class respond with an emoji.
4. A reminder(s) of how to use the feature should be given as this could cause a student to be off task during a meet. 

Here is what it looks like in the upper left corner of the screen:

Here is what you see if a hand is raised:

You can delete the pop up by hovering over the emoji and clicking the x that appears.
