Get Things Done
Having a school based Google account means that students at Lewisham have safe and secure access to unlimited cloud based storage. It also means that our boys have access to a wide range of free applications from Google. These applications allow our students and staff to 'get things done'! We recommend students create notes, presentations and spreadsheets the google suite of applications because they are instantly accessible by anyone with whom they are shared. Below is a quick summary of what's available to students and staff.
ClassroomClassroom is designed to help teachers create and collect assignments paperlessly, including time-saving features like the ability to automatically make a copy of a Google Document for each student. It also creates Drive folders for each assignment and for each student to help keep everyone organised.
Students can keep track of what's due on the Assignments page and begin working with just a click. Teachers can quickly see who has or hasn't completed the work, and provide direct, real-time feedback and grades right in Classroom.
