Switch Classroom resources are no longer student-facing or accessed through a separate platform. Instead, teachers download lessons and activities and upload them directly into their existing LMS, such as Canvas or Google Classroom.This approach eliminates student logins and reduces tech issues like password resets or learning a new system during busy units like APES Unit 6. You can upload resources as downloadable files, convert them into Canvas Pages, or use Google Docs and Canvas Assignments to create a copy for each student.Read the step-by-step guide for uploading Switch Classroom lessons into Canvas
