The two main platforms teachers use are Google Classroom and Brightspace by D2L. Click on the icons > to check out videos explaining how to use different platforms!

They may also require that you write proper emails using your school account and use other apps associated with your GAFE account to share items (Slides, Sheets, etc.).

An email is more like a letter than a text message. Make sure you have all of the parts needed and write professionally and properly!
