The IRCSD Tech Toolkit for Teachers is designed to provide our educators with a guide for creating online classrooms using a variety of resources available to IRCSD. With WolfLink, ParentSquare, Google Classroom, and Google Meet, teachers can maintain the daily flow of class activities and assignments during any potential remote instruction days. Students can participate in class activities from their assigned 1:1 Chromebooks in a hybrid model of synchronous and asynchronous activities.
This site will be updated often as new resources and tools become available. Please check periodically for updates.
A: WolfLink is our District's implementation of the Classlink Single Sign-On solution. A single sign-on (SSO) is a user authentication service that allows users to use one set of login credentials (username/password) to access multiple applications. By signing in to WolfLink, our students and faculty can have access to a variety of applications used by our District without having to sign in to each of those applications individually.
While at home or away from the District, students and faculty can always access WolfLink from at ircsd.org and sign in to utilize the same applications used while at school.
