Distance Learning Resources in Granite School District

March 2020Josh Whiting

During school dismissal and this period of distance learning, Granite School District and the Educational Technology Department have created two centralized resources to provide students, families, and teachers with access to essential digital tools, best practices, and resources for distance teaching and learning.

distancelearning.graniteschools.org

This website is intended to help students and families access digital tools that Granite teachers may be using during school dismissal. Your student’s teacher will provide you with detailed information about accessing learning during this time. Please reach out to individual teachers with questions.

distanceteaching.graniteschools.org

The purpose of this website is to provide Granite School District teachers with resources to support them in setting up, creating, and distributing distance learning to students. Click on the images below or the tabs at the top of the website to navigate to the different pages. Please reach out to your STS or LMETS for training on these tools.
