Email, Google Drive, and Google Classroom
We will be using Google Classroom and Google Drive on a weekly, if not daily basis. It's a wonderful avenue for flipped learning, collaboration, enrichment opportunities, and project creation.
If your child has trouble logging in, one of the most common problem is forgetting to add @g.dentonisd.org to the login information. Try that, and if your child's account still won't work, please let me know so I can get it unlocked.
