More Online Learning Tools Available For Students

Gwinnett students and teachers will have new digital tools at the start of the 2013-2014 school year as part of the Gwinnett County Public Schools online eCLASS initiative. 

Gwinnett students in 33 GCPS schools in the Archer, Berkmar, Duluth, North Gwinnett, and Shiloh eCLASS pilot clusters will have access to new digital resources as they use the new eCLASS Curriculum and Instruction (C&I) Tool. 

The C&I Tool facilitates teaching and learning and enhances communication. 

Participating teachers will create a course page that will give students with access to digital content directly tied to what they are learning and to meet each student’s learning needs. 

Students will visit their teacher’s course page through the MYeCLASS student portal. Once there, students will be able to check assignments, read materials, watch a video, collaborate with classmates, submit assignments, and even take classroom assessments. 

The C&I Tool initially will be available to teachers in the areas of language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, Spanish I, and elementary level visual arts. Teachers will determine how to best blend these digital resources with other learning activities.

All Gwinnett County students will find new digital instructional materials available to them through the MYeCLASSstudent portal.

The newest digital textbook additions include middle school mathematics (grades 6-8), high school mathematics (grades 9 and 10), and high school chemistry and physics. These new online textbooks include a variety of engaging learning opportunities and resources. 

Additionally, Gwinnett students in grades K-8 will have access to Classworks, a new tool for enrichment and acceleration. Classworks is a web-based program that provides engaging learning activities in mathematics and language arts.
