Using Google Meet

Presenter(s) Roy Degler

Google Meet offers various features that can be creatively utilized for different purposes. Here are some creative uses for Google Meet:

Remote Collaboration and Co-working: Use Google Meet as a virtual co-working space. Set up a meeting and invite colleagues or team members to join and work together on projects. This provides a sense of presence and facilitates real-time collaboration even when working remotely.

Virtual Events and Webinars: Host virtual conferences, seminars, or workshops using Google Meet. Invite speakers, panelists, and attendees to join the event remotely. Utilize features like screen sharing, Q&A sessions, and breakout rooms for interactive sessions.

Virtual Hangouts and Social Gatherings: Organize virtual hangouts with librarians or colleagues using Google Meet. You can have informal discussions, or simply catch up with each other through video and audio calls.

Remote Training and Workshops: Conduct training sessions or workshops remotely using Google Meet. Share slides, documents, or video tutorials during the session. Use features like screen sharing, polls, and breakout rooms to enhance participant engagement and interaction.

Virtual Field Trips or Tours: Librarians or tour guides can use Google Meet to take participants on virtual field trips or tours. 

These are just a few examples of the creative uses for Google Meet.
