Online Learning

Updated on 16.9.2021

At Ysgol Craig y Don we use a variety of online learning platforms, websites and apps. Google Classroom is the main channel of communication used across the year groups and if a ‘Blended Learning’ approach is required at any point during the academic year, Google Classroom is the first place to look for information from your child’s class teacher. The teachers will share daily messages in addition to learning activities (online and offline) and links to helpful videos/websites. If you are able to, we recommend downloading the free Google Classroom app on a smartphone/tablet device. You will only need to sign in once and you will be notified when there is an update from a teacher on the class page.

Further information regarding the platforms that we use as a school is available in the ‘Additional Information’ section. Step-by-step instructions and videos can be found in the ‘How-to guides’ section. If you require further assistance or if you need to borrow a school device during a Blended Learning period, please contact the office – and we will try our best to help.

In addition to exploring the sections mentioned above, we encourage all Parents/Carers to make themselves familiar with the Online Safety area on this page. Here you will find several helpful websites full of advice and information to support your child/ren’s safety and wellbeing online.
