Tech Tools for Students

Tech Tools for School

Wiesbaden High School provides a suite of digital tools designed to enhance learning, streamline communication, and support academic success. Familiarizing yourself with these platforms will help you stay organized and make the most of your high school experience.

Essential Platforms for WHS Students

Google Classroom & Schoology

At WHS, Google Classroom is the primary platform for accessing assignments, submitting work, and receiving feedback. Schoology complements this by offering a comprehensive view of grades, course materials, and teacher announcements, especially for online classes. Regularly checking both platforms ensures you stay up-to-date with your coursework.

ClassLink: Your One-Stop Login Portal

ClassLink serves as a centralized hub, allowing you to access all DoDEA-approved applications with a single login. This eliminates the need to remember multiple passwords and provides quick access to tools like Google Classroom, Schoology, and other essential resources.

Aspen Student Info System

The Aspen portal is where students and parents can monitor grades, attendance, and class schedules. It offers a clear snapshot of academic progress and helps families stay engaged with student performance throughout the school year.

Personal Note on Must-Have Study Apps

If I had to pick my top three tech tools for WHS students, I’d rank Quizlet as super important. It’s amazing for active recall — helping you really know the material instead of just rereading notes. Next up is the basic version of Grammarly. It’s great for catching common grammar mistakes without overdoing AI corrections, so your writing stays natural and you keep learning. Finally, Khan Academy is a fantastic resource, especially for math. Whether you’re stuck on a concept or want extra practice, their videos and exercises make tough topics easier to understand.

Honorable mention: Adobe Express has been a godsend for creating flyers, posters, and other school projects with professional polish — and it’s available free to all WHS students!
