Objective 3: Identify and use technology that supports academics

School website

  • Links
    • ​Across the top and Links tab, More tab. Chromebook Links. Use it!
    • I am happy to add other useful links as needed or requested.
  • Calendar
    • ​Check out what is happening each day.
    • Mr. Shaw keeps this up to date.  Unfortunately the "Upcoming Events" spot does not work.
  • Directory
    • All employees with e-mail address.  Click on the envelope.
    • Happy to add anyone who may be missing.  Bios about teachers come from them.

​​Library Website

  • You're there now!
  • We will use it - look around it for information that you need.

Canvas

  • Settings
    • Add your @granitesd.org e-mail (don't add a personal e-mail). Keep school related stuff at school and your personal life separate.  Please then check your e-mail and CONFIRM.
    • Add a phone number for texts. No, teachers wont have your phone number.  They do not want it!
    • Do NOT add your parents e-mail.  They have their own account and can do the same thing you are doing.
    • Web Services
      Google HAS to be allowed or Canvas will not find your files.
  • Notifications
    • Announcements! Grading. Assignments.  I suggesting getting a text.  But the e-mails will give you more details.
    • You can always change these notifications.
    • Inbox = Conversations = "E-mail". 
      You (students and teachers) I suggest NOT getting the e-mail notification.  I DO suggest checking your Canvas INbox often. You'll be getting the message twice if you do this.
      (However, as a parent I DO want the e-mail as I do not often log in to Canvas as a parent.)
  • Calendar
    • Shows ALL your classes.  You have a personal calendar too and can invite people to things.
    • Check the boxes to highlight (or display) them.
  • Inbox (in notifications these are "Conversations")
    • Communicate with your teachers here.  Keep school stuff in Canvas.
    • Use this to communicate with teachers about class.
    • Send messages to classmates and parents as well.

Grade book

  • Change your grade book e-mail to @granitesd.org 
    NOT @graniteschools.org
  • Don't use a personal one e-mail - Keep your personal and school lives separate.
  • Please feel free to e-mail your teachers through Grade book. 
  • When they respond it will go to the e-mail you have provided IN gradebook.

Google Drive (444@granitesd.org)

  • Use this Links page Don't just close it.
  • Don't "Google" Google! Click on it!
  • Use the Waffle to get to Drive to see ALL your files
  • ​Check your e-mail!
  • Teachers will all use this a little differently.
  • If you ever "Do not have Access"  You are probably NOT logged in with your @granitesd.org account
  • You CAN log in with two different accounts at the same time.
  • Google Drive and Chrome are separate things. More info here

Office 365 (444@graniteschools.org or 9#@graniteschools.org)

  • Check out All Apps.  There is a lot here. Explore later!

  • Please only use it if you need it!  Photography class or graphics class, or know what you are doing.
