From  the   end of  September 2020, Children  from  3rd to 6th  class, will begin  to use Google Classroom in completing some homework tasks each  evening!  Our Covid- 19 Response Plan states that we are  reducing the amount of books/materials between school  and  home.  The staff of  Scoil  Mhuire, feel that this  online platform will provide  a useful opportunity for children to engage in  reinforcement tasks for homework 

During the  School closures the children embraced the opportunity of learning new skills on  this  online platform.  
Below are a series of  videos, with thanks to Google for Education which will  provide additional support to parents/  children if they  are  experiencing  difficulty with navigating around the  google classroom. 

From  the  start of this  academic  year teachers and  children have worked exceptionally hard in  our  STEAM  room  each  day,  exploring all  the   skills needed to  begin our new online  journey in doing  our homework  online.  
We are all looking forward to  this  new adventure!!  :) ​

This  Short Video  from  Google for Education is an  excellent recap  for the children on signing into  their  Google classroom  account. 
 
Each  children in  the school has been  assigned a  username as   part of our school  domain  e.g  
XXXXXX@lackennationalschool.com 
All of the   children have  created  unique passwords for access to our  Google classroom. 

Please  Check out this short  Video on  signing in! 

Once you have logged into  your  Gmail  account the next  step is accessing the Google Classroom. 
This short video from Google for Education is an excellent resource for explaining this step very clearly. 

Once you  are logged into  the classroom . There are various  tabs such as Stream, Classwork,  People &  Grades.

Check  out this video to  find out the difference. 

When submitting an assignment on Google classroom  it is  called "Turning in  Assignments". 
The video below explains it all.
