Chrome Remote Desktop to the rescue! CVUSD has pushed a Chrome extension to district accounts, and it enables you to drop into your kids' computers.

Watch this video for how to use it.  

If you do not see the Chrome Remote Desktop icon you may add it from the Chrome WebStore. Here's a quick how-to.

In this sequence, try these strategies:

1. Refresh page

2. Restart computer

3. Run computer updates on Windows 10 PC, iPad, Mac

In this sequence, try these strategies:

1. Refresh page

2. Update Google Chrome

3. Try using another browser (Edge, Firefox) temporarily

When students use computers at home, it is difficult to ensure Google accounts are not interrupting each other. The first defense for all users to constantly check which account is being used, as often as every page/screen change. 

An effective way to prevent account interruption is to make the district account the default account by logging out of all Google accounts on the device, then logging into the district account first. 

Please watch this video for clarity.

First, you should remove any Google account you do not plan on using during this school closure period. This will make your life so much easier! 

Second, you may choose to remove all non-district accounts during the classwork/distance teaching and learning hours. It is easy to log back in and will, again, make using the device much easier. (Make sure you know the username and password for accounts that are removed.) 

Third, do not remove an account that belongs to someone else before letting them know your plans.

Here are some quick, easy directions!

In ClassLink, you must have both McGraw-Hill ConnectED (LTI) and Google Classroom open in order to see the Wonders assignments in Google Classroom. Be sure to go all the way to the Student (circular) dashboard of Wonders!

We understand how frustrating this must be. The problem is most likely a personal Google account on the device the student is using. To resolve this, the most sure-fire way is to REMOVE all personal Google Accounts from the device. The second alternative is to SIGN OUT of all personal accounts on the device. Finally, be sure to check that the student is in his DISTRICT Google Account every time he/she changes pages on the device.

Here is a video to watch for clarification.

Simply tap to open Google Meet, click on Start or Join Meeting now, enter the Nickname or Code, select Join Now (allow microphone / camera first time).

This short video will demonstrate how to join a Google Meet directly from ClassLink.

Google Meet is best accessed via the ClassLink app on an iPad. Please see the information for loading the ClassLink app on iPads under the CLASSLINK section of this page.

To use Google Meet on an iPad for the first time, watch this short video to prepare:  Meet on an iPad

Chatting (messaging) during a virtual meeting should be restricted to appropriate classroom conversation. Students may share thoughts, files, and links. To do this,  Google Meet has a small speech bubble in the upper right corner.

All online meetings are subject to a Teacher's rules/norms for the meeting. Be respectful of these rules/norms.

No, Kami annotation is only a Chrome extension. To annotate on an iPad, a student may take a screen shot and use the built in Edit > Markup tools.

Since the upgrade, the Kami Chrome browser extension has also been added to Student accounts. To activate, follow these quick instructions to log students into their Kami accounts. Of course, be sure to use the district username and password!  Video

IF you are using a personal computer, you will need to install the Kami extension. Click here for link to install.

Students grades TK-12 will need to write, draw, or type on PDFs. To do this OUTSIDE OF GOOGLE CLASSROOM watch this screencast.

f you have the U.S. international keyboard installed, you can type Spanish accents on Windows by simply typing an apostrophe followed by the vowel you want to accent. You can install this keyboard by searching language settings > options > add a keyboard > United-States International. (Click here to see how to install.) Once you’ve installed it, you’ll see a language bar has appeared next to the clock in the start bar. If it’s not already selected, click on the language and select ENG INTL.

á = ‘ + a

é = ‘ + e

í = ‘ + i

ó = ‘ + o

ú = ‘ + u

Here are the keyboard combos for the other accents/characters: (*The Alt key on the RIGHT of the space bar has to be used. The left one won’t work.)

ü = ” + u

n = ˜+ n

¡ = Alt + !

¿ = Alt + ?

Students will not be charged for overdue school library books.

Contact a teacher or administrator from your campus.

First, to find your Wonders website, 

* log into ClassLink

* tap the McGraw Hill ConnectED (LTI) icon (note, there is not username or password necessary)

* tap the Wonders book

* see six circles surrounding a larger center circle with a character. The top left circle is "To do" and should, when tapped, show your teacher's assignments for you.

* tap on the other circles to explore other options for the week

That will depend upon what is assigned, so please first look for annotation tools (digital pencils, pens, erasers, highlighters). If you do not see those, perhaps your assignment is just reading. You may reach out to your teacher for specific details about other assignments.

In ClassLink, you must have both McGraw-Hill ConnectED (LTI) and Google Classroom open in order to see the Wonders assignments in Google Classroom. McGraw-Hill student accounts must be open all the way to the student dashboard (page with the circles). 

Students log into Pearson EasyBridge at the same link as you. Their username and password are the same as they use for ClassLink.

Step by Step instructions of how the STUDENT can access the assigned Reteach and Practice Book pages assigned by the teacher can be found here.
