Remote Learning at Dale

Access Google Classroom on an Xbox or Playstation:
Google Classroom can be opened on Xbox and Playstation. There isn’t an app that the students can add to their consoles. Instead, they are going to have to use the built-in browsers that come on the two devices: On Xbox: Microsoft Edge. On Playstation, it is the “www” browser. Your children will probably know how to find the browsers on their consoles, but if not, each one has a search function they can access on the home screen.
Once the browser has been opened:
Type in www.classroom.google.com in the URL bar
A prompt for a Google account will appear
Type in your school email and password
The Classroom home screen will open up.
If students have a keyboard they can plug in, otherwise, they can use their controllers to click on the classroom tiles, open up assignments and type. You can also interact with video and written instructions and open attachments like Documents and Slides and type on them.
Some great external resources to support remote learning!
