Google Classroom

Google classroom is utilized for classroom instruction, communication, and collaboration. Students use their Harnettstudents.org Google accounts to have access to assignments, resources, and content. Using the internet, students have access any time and anywhere to posted assignments, due dates, as well as supporting curriculum resources.
