Technology Tools

Canvas (https://cps-k12.instructure.com/) is Cincinnati Public Schools' learning management system (LMS). Teachers use Canvas to post course materials, assignments and announcements, creating a centralized hub for all class activities. Students access Canvas to submit assignments, participate in discussions and activities and stay informed about their coursework.

Google Apps for Education — CPS has adopted Google Apps for Education as a key tool for student learning. Google Apps for Education is a web-based suite of programs provided by Google for schools to use. All Google Apps services can be accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection.

Putting our Technology Tools to Work

Our world is driven by technology. Digital devices and software add a dynamic element that keeps students interested and provides access to tools that prepare them for the future.
