Technology Tools and Resources

  • Be sure your student is logged into THEIR Google Drive on their iPad.

 

Their username and password were sent to you in an email at the beginning of the school year. 

Remember their Google Drive login is their username followed by @mcfsd.org.  Their password is an 8 digit number.

 

If you can’t find this information, you can contact our main office at 838-7667 and someone can look up this information for you.  

Canvas - this is where your children will find Zoom links and their daily asynchronous activities that supplement what they are learning in their LIVE Zoom sessions.  

 

For daily work and Zooms, always go in through Canvas for easiest access.

 

Troubleshooting Tips:

If you are in Zoom or working in Canvas and it is not functioning correctly, try:

  • Exit out of Canvas/Zoom and then log back in

  • Power the iPad all the way off and then turn back on.  

  • Check to be sure you are trying to access the correct Zoom meeting. Some classes use different meetings for the various sessions.

In Canvas, students have two courses: one for their homeroom class and one for their RA (Related Arts) classes. 

Tap the Learn button to find their daily work and Zoom links.

 

Canvas Checklist Visual 

This is a great visual step-by-step for how to find your daily work.

  • There is work to complete M/T and TH/F in the homeroom class, opposite your child’s live Zoom learning sessions.  

  • There is work to complete for Related Arts each week. The recorded lessons will load in Canvas every Monday and need to be turned in by Friday.  Their LIVE Zoom lesson for Related Arts is every Wednesday.

  • iOS Software Update ~ An updated iPad is a happy iPad!

    • The current iOS version is 14.0.1 for grades 3-5.  Updates occur frequently.

    •  iPads will only update when the iPad battery is above 50%.

Video HERE on how to update WIS iPads!  

  • Updates may be necessary during distance or hybrid learning when Apple has new software updates.  

Please make sure iPads are charging every night to be able to complete these updates.
