TodaysMeet for Teachers

Meetings can be the life and death of many teachers. They're an essential part of a successful school and team of teachers. 

But scheduling and making it to meetings between teaching lessons, monitoring hallways, grading papers, creating lesson plans, clapping the chalkboard erasers clean, and after school duties and responsibilities is no small feet.

This is where an online tool like TodaysMeet can make meetings easy and convenient. With no login required, a quiet and clutter-free space, and simple layout and controls allows you to meet quickly without having to learn a big and bulky application.

This makes it easy to:

  • Meet with a team of teachers without anyone having to leave their classroom (or home) or wonder where the meeting is suppose to take place.
  • Meet with students during class without anyone having to get up and leave their seat.
  • Catch administration for a quick question while they're at their computer.
  • Hold a county grade level or content area meeting with fellow teachers during a common planning time.
  • Have a classroom speaker with students asking questions without disruption.
  • Co-teach a lesson with another teacher and allow students to ask questions and discuss topics while the lesson is being taught.
  • Have cross-curricular projects where groups of students in different classrooms meet together in their own TodaysMeet space to discuss their work.

Here's how to get started:
