Information Systems and Teaching & Learning are beginning the process of rostering classrooms for the new Google Class Tools (Classroom Management System). This will require creating a Google Classroom for each class and populating those classrooms using Clever. NOTE: We are NOT moving to Google Classroom in lieu of Canvas, rather Google Classroom is the most efficient method for rostering students into Google Class Tools. As a reminder, Class Tools is a possible replacement for GoGuardian or LanSchool. This tool allows teachers the ability to control student browsing, create a lockdown browser, and provide students with live captioning or translations.
What you need to know:
Each class in your school will have a Google Classroom created and rostered with students.
Teachers must accept this Google Classroom for it to be enabled for use.
Students will NOT be able to remove themselves from this Google Classroom
New students will automatically be added, and departing students will automatically be dropped from this Google Classroom.
Schools wanting training on Google Class Tools can contact Digital Teaching and Learning. For more information, click on the following article: Rostering with Clever
