How To Create a Class and Add Students

How to create classrooms and have students join.

For Educators

The most important thing to keep in mind when creating your classrooms is that classes created with the Username option will not be compatible with classes created with the Clever, Google or Microsoft SSO (Single-Sign-On) options. We suggest deciding which will work best for you, your students and your school and sticking with that same option for all of your classes. Please note, Clever SSO is not compatible with the usernames login method.

  1. Select the My Groups tab.
  2. Click the New Classroom button.
  3. Name the class.
  4. Select grade level(s).
  5. Select subject (if grade 6 or above)
  6. Select special options.
  7. Choose the Email SSO (Clever, Google, or Microsoft, based on your own login method as the teacher) or Usernames option.
  8. If Usernames option is chosen, add students.
  9. Send the link from your classroom to the students.

 

How can my students join my class?

You can choose between emails login method or usernames login method. Emails method uses the teacher's SSO option. The usernames method automatically generates usernames based on the names entered.

Email SSO Options (Google or Microsoft):

It may be helpful to provide your students with this help article which shows how they can join a class with their email address: Joining A Class With Your Email 

If you choose the email method, your students will login with their own email addresses. The SSO option will be the same one chosen for your account: Clever, Google, Microsoft.

You'll need to share the join link with your students, then they can open the link in a new tab.

When your students click on the join link they'll see the Join Your Class sign in message with the SSO option you chose.

If you click on Student Login info at the top right corner of the page from within your class you'll be able to access that information any time.

Students will need to open the Student login link each time in order to login, we recommend having them bookmark it.

When they click on the link, they should see the Hello Students message and they will need to type in the username that the website assigned to them when you added them to your class.
