Digital Learning Days
Overview
The Gwinnett County Public Schools calendar includes digital learning days for at-home instruction, and the district may decide to continue instruction on an inclement weather day through a Digital Learning Day. If a Digital Learning Day is scheduled or implemented, the following processes will be in place.
How will it work for students?
- On the Digital Learning Day, teachers will post assignments on their eCLASS or Google Classroom course pages. Teachers will have assignments posted by 8:30am.
- Students will use the student portal to sign in to their eCLASS or Google Classroom course pages where they will access assignments, resources, and other materials. If the power is out, a student may access the teacher’s course page when power returns. If a student does not have access to a computer or device (tablet, smartphone, etc.), the student can get the assignment once school resumes.
- Student work will be expected to be turned in to the teacher (either digitally or in-person), using a school’s process for turning in work following an absence. For example, if your school allows students to turn in work two days after a missed day the Digital Learning Day assignments would be due two days after classes resume.
Teachers will share additional information with students about Digital Learning Days, including how they will support student learning during the day. (For example, some teachers may set up a discussion board while others may use online conference tools or be available via phone.)
