LEARNING PLATFORMS

Online Learning Platform

GSuite for Education is the official online learning platform of the AJHS. It is a set of educational productivity tools from Google that includes Mail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Hangouts, Chat, Meet, Sites, and Classroom. Through these tools, students will be able to communicate and collaborate with their teachers and classmates, access materials, plan, organize, and perform tasks more efficiently, and learn 21st century digital citizenship skills.

Learning Management System

Google Classroom is the official learning management system (LMS) of the AJHS. It is part of the Google Apps for Education suite of tools. With Google Classroom, teachers and students communicate and collaborate, manage assignments entirely online, and stay organized. This is where all announcements, materials, and assessment tasks will be posted by the subject teachers. There will be one Google Classroom for each subject.

OBF Accounts for Students

With the help of the University’s Information Technology Resource Management Office (ITRMO), a University Google-based account was created for the students. The student’s OBF account will be used to log in to the G Suite apps. Through this email address, the students will have access to the different tools the school will use to deliver and enhance lessons.

The students can use their OBF account to send emails to their teachers and classmates using Gmail. This can also be used for sending messages through Google Chat and for video conferencing through Google Meet. With the OBF account, the students are enrolled into a mailing list where members of the group will be those in their class. This will be used as a means of communication via email between teachers and classmates regarding school-specific or class-specific announcements. Only members of the mailing list may send and receive emails in the group.
