Schoology & Google Hangouts
In an effort to create a uniform learning management platform for grades K-12, the district has expanded Schoology to be available at the elementary school level. Google Hangouts for all students will be utilized by staff. This past week in the Learn From Home Virtual Academy, GMSD technology staff covered the basics of Schoology and Google Hangouts; how to log in, how to turn on your notifications, how teachers will use the platform to both stay in touch with and provide resources to our students. These tips and tricks will be useful to anyone who will be assisting your child with distance learning and are applicable to students grades K-12, including students with disabilities. A recording of the Learn From Home Virtual Academy will be posted
here.
