Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can specialists use this tool? Classes in Vision are rostered through Google Classroom, so the specialist would have to create a Google Classroom manually and then have students join the class using the code.
  • Is the use of this tool mandatory? This tool is not mandatory for teachers to use but a support some may want to help with managing classroom Chromebooks. Use only those features of the software that you are comfortable with and make sense for your students. Regardless of whether or not you use this tool, it's always best practice to have discussions with your students about digital citizenship and what is and is not appropriate.
