Google Meet
Google Meet is an online meeting platform where teachers can share their screens with all participants to see as well as record the meeting.I've recorded all of my daily lessons and then posted the recordings to Google Classroom at the request of my students.This is a practice I'd like to continue even after distance learning as students really like the option to return to a recording of the day's lesson to review it at their own pace.
