Using Xbox or Playstation to complete work

Google Classroom can be opened on Xbox and Playstation. There isn’t an app that the students can add to their consoles. Instead, they are going to have to use the built-in browsers that come on the two devices. On Xbox, it is Microsoft Edge. On Playstation, it is the “www” browser. Your students will probably know how to find the browsers on their consoles, but if not, each one has a search function they can access on the home screen.

Once the browser has been opened:

1.Type in classroom.google.com in the URL bar.

A prompt for a Google account will appear.

2.Type in your school email (firstname.secondname@deltaindependentschool.com) and password

3. The Classroom home screen will open up.

4. If students have a keyboard they can plug in, they will have a much easier time of navigation. Otherwise, they will have to use their controllers to click on the classroom tiles, open up assignments and type.

As we all struggle with ways to meet the needs of our learners, I just thought it would be valuable to know that there are multiple options our students as they access our content.
