Google Meet Q&A, Polls and Breakout Rooms

Q&A

With Google Meet’s new Q&A experience, teachers can easily turn on question submission. Q&A offers an easy way to better engage students and help them get their questions answered. 

Educators can use Q&A as a structured way for students to ask questions on class content and get answers from teachers. Students can submit and upvote their favorite questions without disrupting the flow of the call.

When the meeting ends, teachers will automatically receive an email containing an export of all submitted questions, so they can follow up on unanswered questions.

Polls

Polls are a great way to quickly gauge the pulse of your audience. You can use polls to identify topics that need more discussion or test understanding of the meeting content. This means teachers can quiz remote students to ensure they’re absorbing the material and make lesson presentations more engaging and interactive.

With polls in Meet, teachers can set up multiple questions, viewable to only them, and launch the poll anytime during the Meet.

Once a poll is closed, the teacher will receive a report with the tally of the results to make it easy to refer back and take action. The teacher can also share the results of the poll so that students can see a summarized bar chart.

Teachers also automatically will receive an email containing an export of the poll data in Google Sheets.

Breakout Rooms

Teachers can now use breakout rooms to divide participants into smaller groups during Google Meets. Students can then easily rejoin the original meeting following their smaller group discussion. Only event creators can create breakout rooms.

Educators can offer increased engagement in their classes by splitting students up for simultaneous small group discussions or working time. Moderators can also jump between breakout rooms to monitor and participate in discussions.

Up to 100 breakout rooms can be created in a Meet. Teachers can either manually move students into different rooms or have them assigned randomly.
