With the latest disruption to classes at Cross and Passion College due to coronavirus, TY Year Coordinator Glenda Groome has published this advice on ways of accessing Google Classroom.
As we are unable to use school buildings for classes at the moment and not everyone has access to laptop or desktops, students can access Google Classroom on consoles like the PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, or any console with an internet connection.
If students need to access Word, Teams, Excel, PowerPoint, as well as emails, and they don't have access to a laptop or tablet, they can still sign in to Google Classrooms and use these resources via their consoles.
