Using Google On A Tablet, iPad, Kindle, Or Mobile Phone?
In order to successfully use Google Classroom and all the associated applications from the Student Launchpad on a tablet, iPad, Kindle, or mobile device, you may need to download the following Google apps: Google Drive, Google Slides, Google Sheets, Google Docs, Chrome.
All of these apps are free to download.
Once downloaded, start with Google Drive and have your student sign in using their GCPS gmail. The naming convention for a student's GCPS Gmail is: first.last####@g.gcpsk12.org (#### = last 4 digits of the student's ID number). You will be directed back to the GCPS student portal where you will use your child's login credentials (student number and password) to login. Once you have successfully connected Google Drive, all the other apps will be easily connected to the appropriate account.
