Digital Learning Resources for PARENTS and Students

Resources for Parents - Middletown Public Schools

When school is closed, learning can still continue thanks to technology.

But parents may need some resources so they can help their kids at home.

Here are a few that will be huge helpers for you:

Important clipart todo list, Important todo list Transparent FREE ...

1.  Both you and your child(ren) now have to get into the new habit of checking 3 places daily.  They all contain valuable info needed for success:

    • School Gmail (Instructions on how to log in with your student account below)
    • School/district webpage (Important school and/or community announcements and links to keep you informed)
    • Google Classrooms for each class (Join codes for every teacher posted below)
How to Organize Assignments in Google Classroom (edited) - YouTube 

2.  Ms. Trapani's YouTube Channel

    • To help my colleagues, students, and their parents as we are all "figuring this thing out" from home, I've created screencast videos to help answer common technology problems.
    • Although the channel is named Trapani's Tech Tips 4 Teachers, it's for everyone--parents, too!
    • Here's how to subscribe (so you'll be notified when new videos are added).
    • The channel includes many Playlists (or collections of videos) that will really help you help your children:
      • Google Classroom (including a 3-part video series just for parents!)
      • Translation (including ways to translate on Google Docs, YouTube videos, and more)
      • iPads (including ways to troubleshoot iPad glitches)
      • And much, much more!
    • Check out these Google Classroom tutorial videos in 15 different languages!
      • Note: Ignore the first few seconds of these videos.  They are talking about access in NYC schools, not ours.
  •  

3.  Check out this new DIGITAL CLASSROOM RESOURCES WEBSITE. 

    • Ms. Trapani created this site to help make the transition to distance learning a little smoother for students, parents, and teachers.
    • You'll find tons of tech-related resources like websites, databases, free ebooks, cheat sheets, tutorials, and much more!

How Students Sign in to Google

Every teacher has created a virtual class using the platform called Google Classroom.  

Students can log in on any computer, tablet, phone, or other mobile device with wifi access.  They will use their Google logins. The format is as follows:

School Gmail address: username@student.uniondaleschools.org 

Note: This username is the same one used to log on to our school computers.  In most cases, it follows the format of the first initial of their first name followed by their last name with no spaces.

Gmail password: the same password they use when logging on to Chromebooks as well as Google here at school 

Note: The format for password is typically the child’s initials in reverse order followed by the last for digits of their Student ID # followed by their initials in the correct order.

EXAMPLE:  If the student’s name is John Smith, his Google login would likely be:

jsmith@student.uniondaleschools.org
