 Dear Meyersdale Families:School may be shut to us, and we may be locked in at home, but that doesn't stop us from still being a community or from providing students an education. The current situation presents new problems, but also an opportunity to learn new ways of doing things and to continue, to move forward. The document below was created to help families access their students Google Classroom application. Instead of dropping kids off at a bus stop or at the school, you are helping them get to their “virtual” classrooms. What's old is new again!Please know that if you are receiving this packet, by mail, you can still access all the activities online. If you utilize the online platform there are extra bonus activities included. In the future, if you prefer to only utilize the online activities, please contact the office. Please contact your teacher for help with usernames and passwords. Google Classroom Login Directions for Parents 1. Using your internet browser (Google Chrome will work best for this), go to . Top right corner is the Login button. Click it!2. You must be logged in with your child’s @ account in order to access any Google classroom. Sign in using your child’s school provided Google account. It's NOT an email account. It only allows Elementary School Students to log into Google and use Google’s services. If you are on another Google account, you will need to sign out of it and log in with your child’s @ account. You should have access to their username and password (ask their teacher in email if you don't). So go ahead and log in. It may ask you if you are a Student or a Teacher, select Student.3. Once you are logged into Google, look at the top right corner again. You’ll see a 9 dot waffle. Click the waffle. Waffles are good!4. Once the waffle opens, you’ll see a bunch of icons. This is Google Drive. Think of this as your child’s storage locker. Their work is saved here. It's actually saved as they work. If they lose their internet connection etc, Google can usually pick up where they left off.This is Google Docs. It’s Google’s version of Word. It's a word processor.This is Google Sheets. It’s Google's version of Excel spreadsheets.This is Google Slides. It's Google's version of Powerpoint.This is Google Meet. It's Google's version of Webex or Zoom. Students can't start a video session, only a teacher can. This is Google Classroom. This is the one we want. Click it!5. You are now logged into Google Classroom! You should see your child's classes. Click a class and follow your teacher's instructions!You can also log into Google Classroom using an iPhone or Android phone, or tablet or Xbox or Playstation! It may not work on older equipment though - you won't know until you try.On a phone or tablet, search for the Google Classroom app. Install it and then log in with your childs @ account.On an Xbox or Playstation, go to that device's browser and log into Google like you would on a computer. Some devices allow you to plug in a USB keyboard or mouse, so you can use that instead of a controller. ................
