ClassLink Review

What is it?

As more and more teachers become aware of this tool, the more they love it. It can be complicated for students to memorize a variety of usernames and passwords for different online resources. ClassLink is your single sign-on service that will remember your username and passwords for a variety of different sites and services.

When students login they see a variety of resources available to them through their campus whether they’re on a district computer or on their own mobile device.

In addition to specific web resources, students can see a variety of file storage services that they may have accounts to, including their H:/ drive.

The mobile device is equally as friendly (see below). The only limitation is how mobile friendly the different websites they may go to through ClassLink.
