Common Classroom Apps
Alpine School District uses many technology applications and tools that support and deepen learning.
There are many ways for students to access information, content, and curriculum in the current education environment. Meeting with teachers and peers is and always will be a great way to learn, but there are times when meeting face to face with others isn’t an option. Pandemics, severe weather, and health issues are some reasons for a student to need to move their learning to an online environment for a time. Fortunately, teachers and students can still interact in real time to enhance the learning experience by using video conferencing.
In Alpine School District there are a couple of district supported options for video conferencing. First, Google Meet is highly encouraged as the video conferencing tool of choice. Alpine School District is a Google for Education District. This means we have a privacy agreement with Google, which makes Google Meet the safest video conferencing tool for ASD students and teachers.
Another school supported video conferencing option is Zoom. Zoom offers some features that Google Meet hasn’t yet offered, but will be offering soon, such as background blurring, background change and breakout rooms. Some teachers use Zoom to access these additional features.

Hay muchas maneras para que los estudiantes puedan acceder la información, contenido y plan de estudios en el entorno educativo actual. Reunirse con maestros y compañeros es y siempre será una excelente manera de aprender, pero hay momentos en que reunirse cara a cara no es una opción. Las pandemias, el clima severo y los problemas de salud son algunas de las razones por las cuales un estudiante puede necesitar transferir su aprendizaje a un entorno en línea por algún tiempo. Afortunadamente, los maestros y los estudiantes aún pueden interactuar simultáneamente para mejorar la experiencia de aprendizaje mediante videoconferencia.
