Setting Up Your Digital Classroom on Google Calendar

Your digital classroom is the space where you’ll engage with students online. Ensuring it’s correctly set up guarantees a seamless teaching experience. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to establish your digital classroom using Google Calendar:

  • Access Google Calendar:
    • Navigate to Google Calendar in your preferred web browser. If you have the Google Calendar app on your device, you can access it directly.
  • Create an Event:
    • Click on the desired date to host the event.
    • Alternatively, click on the “+” button located at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
    • From the dropdown menu, select “Event”.
  • Name Your Event:
    • In the “Event name” field, enter “[Your Teaching Language] Course”. (for example: English Course)
  • Set Event Duration:
    • Activate the “All day” toggle switch to ensure no specific start and end times are assigned to your event.
  • Date and Time Configuration:
    • The “Start” field will automatically populate with the date you picked in step 2. Maintain this selection.
    • Ensure the “End” field remains blank, indicating the event doesn’t have an assigned ending date.
  • Event Repetition Settings:
    • Tap on the “Does not repeat” dropdown to access the “Event repeat” options.
    • In these options, select “Custom”.
    • In the “Custom” section, for the “Repeats” field, choose “Daily”.
    • For the “Ends” section, set it to “Never” to indicate the event has no predetermined ending.
  • Set Up the Meeting Platform:
    • In the “Location” field, opt for Google Meet as your video conferencing tool, integrating it into your event.
  • Save the Event:
    • Click “Save” to finalize the event creation.
  • Retrieve and Share the Meeting Link:
    • Once saved, click on the event in your calendar to view its details.
    • Find the Google Meet link within these details. Copy this link.
    • Email this link to us at info@yournativeteacher.com. We’ll add it to your calendar, ensuring students can access and join the lessons through it.
  • Accessing Lessons on Your Native Teacher:
  • Both tutors and students can directly access lessons from their dashboards on our platform.
  • The Google Meet link integrated into the platform will launch the web version of the meeting.
  • Important Note: For an optimal experience with enhanced video and sound quality, we strongly recommend tutors use the Google Meet application on their PC/laptop or mobile device.
  • Google Meet Download:
    • In your browser, navigate to https://meet.google.com/.
    • Google Meet can be downloaded and installed on your computer. 
    • Log in with your Google credentials and stay logged in.
