Virtual Learning

What is Google Classroom?

Google Classroom is a website that can be accessed via a computer,  a phone, or an I-pad.  This is where daily assignments will be recorded in the event that we are required to be virtual.  

What is Google Meet?

Google Meet is the link that your child will need to access in order to be live during teacher instruction. This link can be accessed via Google Classroom. The Google Meet link appears in the top box on the Google Classroom assignment page.  Look in the top box, and click on the Google Meet link to access the live classroom.  Please make sure that you are in the correct classroom.  You can access Mrs.Lance's or Ms. Vivone's classes only through their Google Classroom page. 

How do I access Google Classroom and Google Meet?

All students from OLA have a username and password that will allow them to access Google Classroom and Google Meet.  You cannot access either of these Websites without entering the student's username and password into the Google Log-in page.  A Parent's Google account cannot be used to access either of these two pages.  Google Classroom and Google Meet have security measures in place so only student's usernames and passwords can be used.  Once you sign in to Google, your child will have access to Google Classroom and Google Meet.

In the event of Virtual learning:

1. Log into Google,  using your child's username and password only.

2. After you log into Google, a page should appear with all Google Classrooms that your child can access.  This includes the pages for Mrs. Lance, Ms.Vivone, and special teachers. Click on the correct page for which your child will be working.  In the Google Classroom selected, you will find the link for Google Meet.  The link can be found in the colored box at the top of the page.  Click on the Google Meet link, and your child will be admitted into the live classroom feed.

3.  Don't panic if your child's teacher is not on the live feed.  Please allow time for the teacher to switch classrooms.

4. For gym class, there is not a live classroom feed, but normally a required assignment in Google Classroom that your child will need to complete.

5. In the event that your child's page freezes, don't panic!  Sign out of the Google Classroom and log back into the classroom and meet links.


* Please note that all students have practiced accessing Google Classroom and Google Meet at school.
