Setting up Google Classroom for the new school year is easy! Follow these simple steps and your class will be set up in no time.
1. Visit the Google Classroom Website
Head to classroom.google.com make sure you are logged in to your teaching account.
2. Create A Class
Next, you’ll want to click create a class in the top right hand corner. Click on the plus sign, then “create class.”
Below is what pops up.
3. Enter Class Information
The only required information is the class name. The additional information is optional.
Creating your classes is an important step in keeping your Google Classroom organized. It’s helpful to break down your Google Classrooms into each class if you are a self contained elementary teacher. For example, have a classroom for math, science, reading, writing, social studies, etc. This will ensure that your Google Classroom will be neater with each assignment in the correct place.
4. Add Students to your Google Classroom
There are two ways to add students to the class. You can either email them an invitation or share out the class code.
To enter a class using the class code direct your students to classroom.google.com and have them click join a class. There they will enter the class code.
If you want to invite students via email click on the “people” tab at the top of the class page.
On this page you have the option to add teachers and students.
Next to students click the add symbol and enter the email addresses of your students.
This sends an email to your students where they can join.
