History:  Google Classrooms

As part of the College’s support for students during this unprecedented time the History Department has set up online lessons and support using Google Classroom. Please follow the instructions below to get started:

If you have any logging in issues, please contact:
techsupport@sjhcsc.co.uk


Students that are new to Google Classroom

To access Google classroom, students can either go to: http://classroom.google.com, download the Google Classroom app from their device app store or click the link below:

Username and initial password on first login

Username and passwords

For example:
• a year 7 student named John Smith would have the username: 19john.smith@sirjohnhunt.co.uk
• a year 9 student named Betty Boo would have the username: 17betty.boo@sirjohnhunt.co.uk 

Logging in for the first time

When first logged in, students will need to change their password. We suggest using their college username e.g. 17firstname.surname or writing down their own password for the system.

There will be some circumstances where students may have trouble logging in due to issues with usernames or passwords. In this instance, please can you email techsupport@sjhcsc.co.uk with the year and name of the student that is having issues and we will aim to assist as promptly as possible.

Once logged in Google Classroom, students will need to join their classes. Each student will be a member of a History class for their Year group.

Students will be required to join a class using the following class codes for their year group by clicking the + button in the top right of the screen.

Google Class Codes and Teacher Contact details

Please find below the class codes, required for the respective year groups. NB for Year 8  the code  is a  'o' not a '0''!

The next screen you will see is the class “Stream” where announcements and communication with the teacher can take place:

Clicking on the “classwork” tab at the top enables the student to see the work that is currently active for this subject:

Lessons will be set weekly and will contain a retrieval quiz, content to read and make notes on, selected videos and websites to use, and tasks to complete.

Finally, clicking on the “people” tab will allow the student to email Mr Carpenter with any questions they have. Please only use this function for urgent questions, as due to the current situation we may not be able to reply to all questions in a timely manner. Also, the email accounts have been locked to only work within the @sirjohnhunt.co.uk domain so sending and receiving external emails will not work for personal usage.

Teachers Tab

Students may access Google Classroom as soon as they are able, however the first lessons will appear from the week beginning Monday 13th April. It would be helpful if students attempt to log in as soon as possible, to identify any issues before the first lessons are set.
