    Q: What if a student does not have internet access at home?

    A: Students will need to make sure they have access to their documents and other files offline. If working with any of the Microsoft products, Pages, Keynote, or Numbers, those documents should be available offline as soon as they’re saved to a hard drive or thumb drive. If working with Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides, the student will have to make those available for use offline.  Here are quick instructions on how to do that:

    1. Make sure you’re connected to the internet. You need to be connected to enable offline access.
    2. Open Chrome. Make sure you're signed into Chrome with your school account not your personal account. This will be the account that you’ll be able to access offline.
    3. Go to drive.google.com/drive/settings.
    4. Check the box next to "Sync Google Docs, Sheets, Slides & Drawings files to this computer so that you can edit offline." This will make your Docs, Sheets, Slides & Drawings available offline. You will also be able to create documents offline that will sync with Drive when connection to the internet is reestablished.

     

    Things to keep in mind:

    • This only works in the Chrome browser.
    • You need to sign in with the account you want to be able to access offline. If you have multiple accounts, and want to have offline access to all those accounts, then you’ll need to set up different profiles. You can ask the tech department for help with that if needed.

While the instructional activities evolve to integrate technology, the relationships between teacher and pupil will always be important to a quality education.
