One of the most basic ground rules that I missed out when I had my online lesson with my large group of students was I did not state that they should mute their microphones before they entered into the google meet.
It ended with many students chatting with one another and the noise level was terrible.
Many teachers may have made the same mistake like the videoclip below.

When there were too many students answering at the same time, it becomes a problem too.
We need to instruct them that each time there can only be one voice so the rest must mute the microphone.
It is a simple rule but it really made a great difference when I had another lesson with this rule.
Enjoy the funny videoclip above when things went out of control like what happened to me.
