Using Google Meet with Pre K - 1 Students on MPS iPads



To connect with your Pre K - First Grade students via Google Meet, we're going to create share the URL for our Meet with the families of our students:

  • Create your Google Meet by -
    • Create an event on your Google Calendar and select "Add Google Meet Video Conferencing". Select "Google Meet">


    • Right-click on "Join with Google Meet" and select "copy link address".

    • Or, go to meet.google.com, start a meeting and copy the URL from the joining info.



Create your announcement in Seesaw, or Class Dojo and paste this link. Be sure to include the date and time for when you want your students to join you on the call!

The Google Meet app is not needed on the MPS iPads for this to work!

When your students access this link, they will be prompted to enter a guest name. After they complete this, the teacher who is already in the call will receive a message that the Guest is asking to join the call - the teacher can now either admit or deny entry. Because of this detail, students will not be able to access the Meet without teacher approval!

  1. Thank you Steve. That now sounds so easy and logical that I wonder why I didn't think of doing this before?! LOL

  2. Can you set it up as an assignment with the url link attached so we can assign the google meet to a specific student instead of the whole class (when you do an announcement, it goes to the whole class)?
