Step 4: Find your teachers in the faculty directory

Go to each teacher's website to find out what Learning Management System (LMS) they are using, either Canvas or Google Classroom. (Both Canvas and Google Classroom can be found in Wake ID.
If Google Classroom, get the join code and join. (*Note- this semester, you may already be added to your Google Classrooms. Here is a video to show how to join if you are already invited.
If Canvas, you simply go to Canvas and will find your class. (GO TO CANVAS AND CHECK YOUR INBOX TOO!)
Find your Google Meet links and save that information. You'll need it!

Step 5: Check your school email in Wake ID.

Step 6: Go to your class Google Meets!

The google meet codes will be in your school email (Outlook found in Wake ID) or in the teacher's Canvas or Google Classroom. Jot it down with your schedule so you are ready to go!

Your teacher may also use a nickname. If that is the case, you would go to https://meet.google.com/ and type in the join code. You MUST be connected to your student Wake ID account to get into a Google Meet.
