Google Issues
Many times student say that "Google is not working" which typically is NOT the issue, however, when Google Drive, Classroom or Hangouts is crashing, it certainly seems that way. Here are some things to try:
“Google is not working”
Wrong Google Account
Set Default Google Account - open your SBAConnect.org account first, the first account logged into a browser
Confirm that they are NOT logged in as a personal gmail account
Student emails are like - 21dbarber@sbaconnect.org
Try different browser - essentially clears the browser cache and cookies
Laptop - If using Chrome, use Safari - If using Safari, use Firefox - etc.
iPad - reinstall app or try using a browser (Safari or Chrome)
This clears the data held by a browser and lets you know if you have a browser issue
Submit a Help Desk ticket - email us at helpdesk@silverdaleba.org
