Academy Communication Tools
Edline:
Edline will not exist after June of 2015 from information we have received. There will be a
process in the myMCPS site that will contain the features of Edline.
Google Classroom
This classroom site will contain the information, documents, rubrics, and interactivity between
the student and Coordinator. Students will use the Classroom to submit documents. Students
will be provided with an access code when they are accepted into the Program.
IMPORTANT:
Students must use their MCPS Gmail account (format <student ID>@mcpsmd.net)
Remind (previously Remind101)
(A process for receiving text messages)
Knowing that email is not the main communication tool for many, there may be many students
and parents experiencing a delay in accessing updated information. By using ‘Remind’ the
Coordinator can send a text message with a notice to check the main communication page.
To register for Remind, you will receive directions in next year’s new communication system.
VolunteerSpot & the Speaker Series
The MTS Program has a requirement for students to attend a specified number of Speaker Series
events. The Speaker Series events will be communicated with a link to VolunteerSpot.
VolunteerSpot will send a confirmation email of registration as well as a reminder two days
prior to the event. Additionally, the Coordinator is sent messages when the event is full, when
participants pull out two days prior to the event, and a roster.
Students need to know that credit for any Speaker event is linked to their submission of a
reaction paper that will be posted after the event. The reaction paper poses questions based on
the presentation so that they will process the knowledge in a meaningful manner.
If teacher recommendations need to be mailed, please offer the following:
