ClassLink FAQs
ClassLink is a powerful platform designed to streamline the way teachers and students interact with technology in the classroom. It acts as a central hub that provides access to a variety of educational tools and resources.
For Students:
What this means for students is, the time it takes them from opening the lid on their Chromebook to being signed into a curriculum takes just one minute or less. All without having to enter a username or a password to sign into the Chromebook or the curriculum. We accomplish this with the ClassLink QuickCards. A QuickCard is a QR code printed on a badge that the students hold up to their webcam. They are signed into the Chromebook and a Chrome tab automatically launches and signs them into the ClassLink LaunchPad.
The ClassLink LaunchPad is where the student has a shortcut to all of their curriculums. Think of it as a one stop shop where they then just click on the curriculum or resource they need to launch, and it passes on their credentials to the curriculum and signs them in. No need to enter a username or password.
For Teachers:
Teachers also have access to the ClassLink LaunchPad. Teachers have access to all of the curriculums and with one click are automatically signed into the curriculum. No need to enter in a username or password. Teachers can also share documents or other resources with students. Need something to tell your students like an announcement? Use the announcements to put up a link to an entry task or to tell students to start their day in a certain curriculum or Google Classroom assignment. You can also impersonate a student to see exactly what they should see. Even share this on a projector with the class to show them exactly what they should see.
You can log into your ClassLink LaunchPad in a few easy steps! If you’d like to log in on your computer, read Logging In to ClassLink. To access your LaunchPad on your mobile device, check out Mobile: Logging into LaunchPad.
