​Google Meets is one of the favoured ways to run live lessons with students. It runs very much like any of the other platforms but it is embedded into Google Classroom with a dedicated Meet link offered on the top banner. You can have Live face to face lessons (Or face to letters lessons! as they tend to be sometimes! )  You can present your screen or a PowerPoint very easily. You can change backgrounds, mute or turn off video link depending on your preferences. You can also record your lesson using Meets. 
Hopefully I have covered many of these features below. There is a guide I have produced for this. It was at the very start of using it but hopefully it is comprehensive. i have been using it with my students for several weeks and we have found it very straight forward with no issues

I have attached a downloadable guide on the link below. 

Amazing recommendation from the lovely Lesley Emerson - Always full of great ideas!!
This is a brilliant site where you can produce a whole range of brilliant resources for your classes!! Very easy to produce!! 

This is a great guide on how to use the NOTES app to scan written or printed work and uploading it easily to Google Classroom. This collates the work together preventing multiple copies and also prevents the poor photographs that tend to be sent. 

These two fabulous videos from Alistair Hamill and Desmond Tennyson really demonstrate how effective marking can be carried out using the Rubrics feature of Google Classroom. 

Do you have a booklet that you want to create quick weblinks for your students ? Or a Poster that you want to create a YouTube link to? Or a set of past paper exams that you want them to be able to access at any time using digital devices? Then this is the app for you -Qrafter allows you to create a QR code in an instant. This can be matched to whatever you wish.  Think about making your corridors interactive bringing displays potentially to life !  Easy to use and free

Kami have very kindly extended their full free trial to all C2ken.net email addresses until October!

We have added our YouTube Kami Playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBLH14q8MojA6yade6Spqa-x4DcRZfWVN

The video below shows how to add KAMI to your browser. I really think this is an amazing tool and principals and HODs should consider this for your teachers. You can contact KAMI for pricing.
In our school, 100 teachers and 1700 students are priced at just over £4,000.  However, using this would negate the need for photocopying anything and so will easily save you money! Plus...... it is kinder to the environment, stops us losing anything, allows you to mark work on a tablet with a stylus, and integrates with google classroom and Teams to pull across the marks into your google classroom mark book.

I cannot recommend this strongly enough it will save teachers so much time during what is going to be a really difficult year. Please go on and have a play before the full version trial runs out next week!
