How to Access Lessons
How to Access Lessons
To get to your lessons on a Virtual Day, you will need to sign in to Canvas, our district-wide learning management system. You can get to Canvas using the students.bcsc12.in.us bookmark bar on your BCSC device, the Canvas icon from the Google apps menu, the link on the BCSC website, the direct link to Canvas (https://bcsc.instructure.com), or through downloading the free Canvas student mobile app (compatible with iPhones, iPads, and Android devices). Students will use BCSC Google credentials to sign in to Canvas.
All lesson materials and instructions will be posted on Canvas. Teachers and student support staff will be available to answer questions and provide guidance. For a tutorial on how to sign in, access your assignments, watch the tutorial video or review the reference guides. Elementary students have a different Canvas interface/look than middle and high school students.
