Blended Learning Platforms and Tech Support

Google Classroom will be the primary remote learning platform used as this is already part of the school’s culture. Teachers will be using their existing Google Classroom accounts to share all of our distance learning resources for all subject areas. Students are expected to login daily for access to their schoolwork and submit their work in Google Classroom. Some assignments will extend across days, others may be added weekly or daily. If a student is having trouble with logging in, they will be able to email Mr. Ahsan or Ms. Contreras for a password reset and/or support.

In order to support students remotely, Zoom accounts have been created for all teachers, guidance counselors, the college advisor, and administrators. Teachers will utilize Zoom Meetings to virtually create instructional videos to upload to Google Classroom and be available to students through meeting times on a daily basis. We will use Zoom for students to provide video conferencing as an additional support and check-ins to ensure students have everything they need. Students will be able to log onto a meeting and ask questions of their teachers on a daily basis. While Google Meets was previously used by most faculty, Zoom provides breakout room (small group instruction) opportunities that Google cannot provide.
