How to add or invite students to your class
Click on "Users" in the sidebar. Then select the class that you want to add students to. You will be able to see the "people" in this class on the right hand side.
There are two ways to add students to a class:
A. You can add existing students to your class.
B. Or, can invite them to join your class using a Quick Class Code.
A. How to add existing students
i. Click the yellow "plus" icon.
ii. Use the window that opens to select the students in your class.
iii. You will now see the students you added in the "people in this class" section.
B. Invite students using a Class Quick Code
i. Begin by selecting your class. Underneath the class name you will see the "Quick Class Code". Copy this code and share it with your students.
NOTE: Educators, if you want to view classwork as a student we recommend you create a new user account (using a different email address) and name it appropriately (i.e. JonR. TestStudent) so that you don't confuse your accounts. Once done, use a Class Code to add your test student to the class!
ii. Instruct your students to login using their school Google Account or by entering their account’s email address & password.
iii. Once the student has logged in, have them click the "Quick Code" button. Then have them enter your Quick Class Code". Finally, ask them to click the join button.
iv. If you refresh your class page you will see the student who has requested to join your class. After you approve their request the student will be able to view the classwork that and content that you have assigned to them.
