Learning Technologies are extremely important elements of learning at Nexus and we use a few tools to facilitate this. These are 'Canvas in Secondary and 'Seesaw' in Primary, both are online learning environments and 'Google Workspace' which consists of Gmail, Drive, Docs, Calendar and may more. An introduction in how to use these systems will be carried out in class by your teachers with help from the current learners. You may also have some Digital Skills Lessons that will help you get started. You will be introduced you to the basics of Mac or iPad use as well as showing you how to get started with Google Workspace, Canvas, Seesaw and Engage (for secondary learners).
