UPDATED!!! 9/24/2020 Classlink to Benchmark Advance on iPads

-

Students using iPads (in our district this means the youngest students) have been trying to access Benchmark materials via the "Direct Access" links that teachers have put into the students' Google Classrooms. The issue is that the students still need to log into Benchmark via Classlink and a vicious cycle ensues. The solution...assign the materials in Benchmark Universe, have students log into their Benchmark Dashboard and click on the assignments option to view the materials you would like them to access. The video below gives a brief overview. If you have questions, please contact one of your EdTech Coaches.
