ClassLink
The applications below may be accessed through the ClassLink portal. For many of the applications, the user has been rostered for use of the application through a sync between PowerSchool and the application. Applications marked with an asterisk will need the student to log into the site on the first visit with a class code or teacher username. The student's username and password will then be saved to ClassLink for automatic login on return visits.

Applications
Chrome
Students will use the Google Suite of applications to complete school work in the classroom. Students are provided a secure School District account, which limits their collaboration and communication within the Haverford domain. As part of the Google Suite, students can learn how to use real-world applications for word processing, presentations, spreadsheets, and forms and practice good communication skills using email, document collaboration, and online meeting forums. The classwork created within their Google account may be accessed from various online and offline sources while saved in secure Google Cloud storage.
Drive
Google Drive is a free service from Google that allows you to store files online and access them anywhere using the cloud. Google Drive also gives you access to free web-based applications for creating documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
Student accounts are part of an education account managed by a School District administrator. Google Workspace storage is shared among Drive files, Gmail, and Photos.
Files can be accessed from any device logged into the haverfordsd.net domain with an Internet connection, eliminating the need to email or save a file to a USB drive. Because Google Drive allows you to share files, working with other students on a shared file or project has become even easier.
Docs
- How to use Google Docs
- Change how paragraphs & fonts look
- Add a title, heading, or table of contents in a document
- Share files from Google Drive (Students can only share files with other users within the haverfordsd.net domain)
Forms
Gmail
Meet
Sheets
You can create and edit spreadsheets directly in your web browser with Google Sheets. Multiple people can work simultaneously; you can see people’s changes as they make them, and every change is saved automatically.
Slides
Kami
Students will use Kami to read, mark up, and fill in PDF files and submit them online through Canvas. The tools provided on Kami 's toolbar are simple enough to be manipulated by the youngest students. Built in accessibility tools make Kami the perfect tool to introduce students to PDF annotation.
Record Yourself Reading for Fluency
Submit an image of a document to a Kami assignment to then submit to Canvas
PowerSchool
Zoom
Using online tools for video conferencing has become the norm in 2020 and the School District has purchased Zoom to create a high quality experience for our students. Again, we are exposing students to tools that are used in major corporations to communicate with a variety of people in areas all over the world. While our students are prevented from creating Zoom meetings with their school Google mail account, they will participate in meetings with their peers, teachers, and principals while learning the valuable rules of netiquette and communication in a secure setting with guidance from our teaching staff.
Best Practices
- Access Zoom through the Zoom app rather than the website.
- Only have the tabs you absolutely need open when in a Zoom meeting. esch tab is using bandwidth that deteriorates the quality of your Zoom experience.
- If possible, keep the audio at a mid-range to avoid feedback in the Zoom meeting.
- If you are required to join a meeting with your Google Account please follow the directions below
Open the Zoom application, select the Sign In tab and Sign In with Google |
|
Select your Google account and enter your email address |
|
Select the Join a Meeting tab to enter your teacher's meeting ID or open Canvas and login from the teacher's Canvas link |
