Click on Create My First Classroom to create your class. Now we need to give our classroom a name. Let's select the appropriate grade for our students. It's easiest if we select the option for our students to join with their Google IDs. You can copy this link and send it to the students who will be joining this class. You can also copy the link by clicking the two rectangles beside the link. Make sure you only send the class link to the students who need to be in that classroom and be careful not to share this link publicly. Time to add my co-teacher to the class! We'll need to click into the classroom first. Click View Class. Once we're in the classroom, we'll look for the three vertical dots below the settings cog icon, and click to open that three dot menu.
