Remote Learning Term 3 – Google Classroom

Hello Platypuses.

This term we will be starting out learning online. Rather than posting work on the Blog I will now be posting your work on google classroom. To access google classroom you will need to login to google using your school google account.

Here are some instructions to help you.

Start by searching for ‘google classroom’ in your internet browser and click on the result or use this link – https://edu.google.com/ You will then need to login to your google account in order to access your classroom.

In your reading records you should find your Google Classroom login details stuck in, which has a username and password – you will need to edit it slightly when you login because the whole school has now changed over to using Google. You can now get rid of the “apps” part of your email address

eg. ccroc876.208@herbertmorrison.lambeth.sch.uk

Your password will stay the same.

Once you’ve logged in look for our class name and click on it.

Once you’ve clicked on Class Platypus you will be able to see our class stream where you can post comments and see our Virtual Classroom.

You can access your work by clicking on classwork to see your assignments I’ve set for you.
