HOW DO I LOGIN TO GOOGLE CLASSROOM?

HOW DO I SIGN IN TO GOOGLE CLASSROOM?

You can sign in using a School account—Also known as a G Suite for Education account, this account is set up by Rise.
If you've attended our physical or virtual student orientation at Rise, then you will have already been provided this information:

[First Name + Last Name]@riseadultacademy.net. OR [First Initial of First Name + Last Name]@riseadultacademy.net

For example,

johndoe@riseadultacademy.net

OR,

jdoe@riseadultacademy.net

If you don't know your google account details, ask an administrator, counselor, school secretary or IT personnel.
The Temporary Password for all first time users is always: 123456789.

It should look like this:

USERNAME: johndoe@riseadultacademy.net OR, jdoe@riseadultacademy.net

PASSWORD: 123456789

HOW TO: JOIN A GOOGLE CLASS

How to join a class:

Join a google class with a class code—A Counselor or teacher will provide you with a class code, use this code to add yourself to a class.

Navigate to Classroom.google.com
Log-In to your "@riseadultacademy.net" email account.
At the top right corner of the webpage, select Add +, then Join class.
Finally, input the class code to access the classroom.

NOTE:(see) VIDEO TUTORIAL FOR HOW TO SIGN-IN TO GOOGLE CLASSROOM

HOW TO: Connect Wireless Blootooth Keyboard

HOW TO CONNECT WIRELESS BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD:

Turn on the keyboard. There is a power button on the right hand side.
On iPad, go to Settings > Bluetooth, then turn on Bluetooth.
Tap the "keyboard" option when it appears in the Other Devices list in the bluetooth menu.
You will then see a code that is generated which is used to sync the keyboard to the iPad.

Once it’s paired, the keyboard reconnects to the iPad whenever it's within range. When it’s connected, the onscreen keyboard will not work. You cannot use onscreen keyboards and wireless ones, at the same time.

Switch Bluetooth to off position, should you want to use the onscreen keyboard instead.

HOW TO: USE SPLIT SCREEN FEATURE

Open two windows in Split View on iPad

Open two different apps, by splitting the screen into resizable windows. For example, open the "Google Meet App" to join a video call while also, "browsing a webpage" at the same time in Split View.

While using an app, swipe up from the bottom edge and pause to reveal the Dock.
Touch and hold an app in the Dock, drag it to the right or left edge of the screen, then lift your finger.
If two items are already open in Split View, drag over the item you want to replace.
To give both views equal space, drag the divider to the center of the screen.

HOW TO: CONNECT TO WIFI

WI-FI WON'T CONNECT:

1.) Tap open the "Settings" Icon

2.) Select "WI-FI"

3.) Toggle Wi-Fi button on and off and then back on once more.

If it fails to reconnect to the automatically joined network "ap@540" or "ap@WCSD," try switching to the district's

"guest network" by selecting:

"guest@WCSD"

Upon requesting to join it should prompt you to enter a password, which is:

"k12guest" (all lowercase/one word.)

NOTE: You may also choose to select your own (Home Network) by providing your Network name and Security/ Password information.

If we've provided you with a district issued HOTSPOT device you will need to input that information instead.

IPAD TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

IPAD SCREEN FROZEN:

Hold down the Power button and the Home button simultaneously until the iPad turns off and reboots. You can let go when you see the Apple logo on the screen. (This is a catch all fix for most iPad issues.)

INTERFACE ORIENTATION IS FIXED ON LANDSCAPE OR PORTRAIT:

If Orientation Lock is turned on, the screen won't rotate.

Access the Control Center by swiping the top right corner of any screen and then dragging it downward.
Tap the Orientation icon to turn on.
When the icon is highlighted in red, the Orientation Lock is turned on.
