Slowness and Dropping from Google Meets could be a connectivity issue
If you are consistently kicked out of your Google Meet or Pear Deck session, this could be caused by your internet service provider (ISP) Try the following in order:
- Test your internet speed to ensure you are getting the speed for which you are paying. Keep in mind this can vary slightly depending on the number of people connected to your Wifi.
- Reset your modem by unpluging it for about 10 seconds then plugging it back in.
- Reach out to your ISP to have them check your connection.
If everything is functioning normally with your internet, you may not have speeds high enough to run apps like Google Meet or Pear Deck at the same time. We are working with staff to help create more lessons that take performance into mind.
Attention: CenturyLink Customers
The district has confirmed an issue with CenturyLink customers who have the newest model modem. This modem has security features that are interfering with chromebooks. You will need to reach out to chromebook@centurylink.com
