To join a google classroom:
Launch google classroom from WakeID. Click the + in the top right corner, select "join", and enter the code given to you by your teacher. In the video to the right, Mrs. Darwin gives us a brief tour of google classroom.
When you log into a chromebook, you are also logging into a chrome account. When needing to access google classroom, students need to be logged into their wake county google accounts. To do this, they'll need to add their wcpss account to their chromebook and use it when logging in for schoolwork. When prompted for an email address to enter, their email address will be WakeID@students.wcpss.net. This will redirect them to the WakeID login page where they can log in to the WakeID portal.
Students can use google classrooms on tablets. When available, please download the following google related apps to make things run more smoothly (drive, docs, slides, classroom, chrome). To add their account to google apps on a tablet, click on the account button, and add another account. To add their wcpss google account, enter their email address (wakeID@students.wcpss.net), which will redirect them to the WakeID login page. You can use multiple accounts on one tablet, students will need to make sure their account is selected (their initial is in the account information circle at the top of the screen).
Google classroom (and related apps) work best in chrome. If you have multiple users working in one laptop/desktop account, they will need to sign in and out of their WakeID accounts when switching users. An alternative would be to create individual computer logins for each student.
