Using Android devices

Google built the Android system, so Google classroom and the other apps in the Google Suite should all work really well. On your mobile device, you may find it easier to have the following apps downloaded .

Google Classroom

Google Docs

Google Slides

Google Meet

Google Drive

Google Classroom

This is where we will share teaching videos, worksheets and explanations. This is also where you will find the work that you have been set. Finally, it is how you will send your work back to your teacher and how your teacher will give you feedback on that work.

Google Docs

This is a Word Processor, a bit like Microsoft Word. If you have been asked to type something up, you will need to use Google Docs.

Google Slides

This is Google's version of PowerPoint. However, teachers can also use it for activities that might need you to move text and pictures around.

Google Meet

This is Google's equivalent to Zoom - if the class are sent home, we can use this to meet the rest of the class virtually. In school, we use this for our virtual assemblies.

Google Drive

This is your online storage - think of it like your USB stick. All your work is saved here, and it will automatically save, too. So if you start some work at school, you will be able to continue at home.

Below are videos of how you can log in using your Android device.

Setting up Google Classroom using Android

You may need to add the account first. This is usually easiest done by going into the settings and adding a Google account (this is the child’s email address ending in @cliddesdenprimary.net). You may be asked to accept the conditions and also reset the password.
Once the account is added, then install the following from the Play Store:

Google Classroom
Google Docs
Google Meet
Google Slides

Then go into Google Classroom and ensure you are selecting the right account. You may need to select ‘I’m a student’.
