At CMS, every student has a Google account, enabling them to work collaboratively using the suite of Google apps.

 

Google Apps for Education is a suite of powerful apps that empowers our students, and enables them to tap into their creative side to produce digital content. Through the apps, students have the ability to create, edit and share Google Sheets, Slides and Documents. They can save all their digital content to their Google Drive and access their work from home, school or even on the go from most devices. With the power of Google, students can write essays, create dynamic presentations and format tables and spreadsheets with ease, and then submit their final products into eClass.

 

Students will log in to their Google accounts through their My eClass login. Once they have logged in, they should click the link that reads G-Suite for Education to gain access to their Google Apps.
