Digital Learning Resources for Students
-
Students enrolled in District 65 schools have access to a variety of digital learning resources. The majority of the resources are available through Clever, a single sign-on platform, so that students can access a variety of digital learning resources, without having to input additional login information. Below is a list of digital learning resources, a quick description, and access information for many of the resources students have access to.
Please note, on iPads, D65 K-2nd and 6th-8th grade students use the App Self-Service to download approved Apps onto their iPads. If an app exists in Self-Service, students must first install the App in order for Clever to open it properly.
