Digital Learning

Those using a Personal Chromebook for Digital Learning Days should add their GCPS G-Suite account as a "New User".  Should you be logged into your Chromebook with a personal Gmail account you may not be able to access all of the needed resources to complete your Digital Learning activities.

To add a GCPS account to your Personal Chromebook:

1. Log out all users.  You will need to be on the log in screen.
2. Select "New User" (some may have the option to "Add Person") at the bottom of the screen
3. You will be prompted to enter your Google email address.
   • Student G-Suite email addresses are {firstname}.{lastname}{last 4 digits of student ID}@g.gcpsk12.org.
   • Example:  John Doe with a student id of 123987654 would have an email address of john.doe7654@g.gcpsk12.org
   • Please note these email addresses are not able to send and receive emails from outside the domain.
4. Click "Next"
5. You will be presented with the student portal log in screen.  Your student will know the username and password and will be able to log in.

Most native components in eCLASS are compatible with Anroid Tablets, i-Pads or mobile devices and should function properly. 

Any resource you are directed to outside of eCLASS that contains Adobe Flash will not function on an i-Pad or Android tablet.

G-Suite (Google Apps):

If you choose to use G-Suite (Google) apps (such as Drive, Docs, Slides, Classroom, etc.) on an Anroid Tablet, i-Pad or other mobile device you will need to download those apps from the Google Play or the Apple App Store.

   • Please note these email addresses are not able to send and receive emails from outside the domain.
3. Continue with the process and you will be presented with the student portal log in screen.  Your student will know the username and password and will be able to log in.
