St Mark’s Community School Video Conferencing - Student Agreement
You must think of a Google Meet as a normal classroom where school rules apply including the Code of Behaviour, AUP, your Digital Promise and this agreement. Remember, you have the right to keep your microphone muted and your camera off if you choose. You can use the message feature if you prefer not to speak.
1.You must find a private space for the meeting as it is for the students in the group only.
2. Make sure your device is charged.
3. Join on time.
4. Inform your teacher if you’re not able to attend for any reason as attendance will be recorded.
5. Make sure you are able to turn on/off (mute/unmute) your microphone.
6. Mute your microphone when you are not speaking because background noise interferes with the lesson.
7. Make sure you are able to turn on/off the camera.
8. When using the camera, position it with only yourself in view and remember it is best to look into the camera, not at the screen, when you are speaking.
9. Turn off notifications as they will interfere with your concentration during the lesson.
10. Respectful behaviour is expected during a Google Hangout lesson just as it is in the classroom
11. Only one student at a time may speak as directed by the teacher.
12. Recording the lesson or part of it or taking photos of the lesson is not allowed, as already agreed in your Digital Promise. A breach of privacy is a very serious matter.
13. Leave the Meet at the end of the class by pressing the ‘hang up’ button and do not rejoin. Don’t forget to thank your teacher!
14. Make a note of your learning in your Journal.
When you accept an invitation to take part in a Google Meet arranged by a teacher or SNA, you are agreeing to all of the above.
