Appendix 1: Google Classroom
Google Classroom for Students and Parents at Home
This document includes general guidance for Students who are working from home and Parents who wish to receive updates via Google Classroom, with respect to their child’s work.
Students
WMG Academy uses Google Classroom exclusively for the setting of coursework and homework. All students should be familiar with the use of Google Classroom, but different PC configurations may mean that it is slightly different when at home, to the usual classroom PC or Laptop.
Here is a shortcut method to logging into Google Apps from any PC.
- Open a Browser
- The preference is to use Google Chrome
- Other browsers will work fine, but may limit some functions
- Google Chrome can be easily loaded by searching ‘download google chrome’
Password
- Navigate to www.google.co.uk
- Click on the circular icon in the top right of the browser and log in using your academy email address and password.
- Once logged in, use the nine squares to access the Google Apps available to you.
Parents
Parents CANNOT log directly into Google Classroom. They receive an email from Google with a regular update as to the work being set and a student’s progress. When Google Classroom was configured, earlier this year, you would have received an email from Google asking you if you wish to receive these updates. If you have a Gmail Account, you can elect to receive daily updates, other email addresses can only receive weekly.
If you are not receiving these, please email [email protected] with: –
- Your child’s name (First and Last Name)
- Their date of birth
- The email address you wish to use to receive updates
We will then update our records and you will receive a new email from Google asking you to confirm you wish to receive these updates.
