In order to view Google assignments in Canvas, you need to Authorize Google Drive using your Pike Google Account (500#####@students.pike.k12.in.us). Check to see if your account is authorized correctly.
Login to Canvas and click on the course you have a Google Assignment in.
Click on Google Drive. This is a blue link on the left side, usually under Modules, Announcements, etc.
Note: If you do not see the Google Drive link, ask your teacher to enable it in their course Navigation settings OR check other courses to see if another teacher has the Google Drive link. It's okay if it's not the teacher that posted the Google Assignment.
Once you click on Google Drive, you will see files created with the Google Account.
In the top right corner (still within the Canvas page), click the circle with a single letter/picture.
Is the email address that is displayed your school email? If no, click Sign Out.
Click the blue Authorize and choose/enter your 500#####@students.pike.k12.in.us.
To avoid confusion and errors on a personal computer that is shared by multiple people, students should have their Chrome Browser set up on the computer. This will allow parents to keep their bookmarks, passwords, and other browser data separate from the student's school work. The video below will show you how to set up a Chrome Browser for your student.
