- All right, so you've created a class
and now you want to add students to it.
There's not a whole lot involved in it,
so what we would start out by doing is
just find the class that you want to add them to.
So you have to add them just to one particular class,
so we'll left-click on Fundamentals of Math
and then go to the top and we're going
to left-click on the people tab.
And you'll notice to the right of teachers and students,
there's an icon of a person with a plus sign.
You can add co-teachers if you want,
but right now, we're going to talk about
how to invite students and there's just
two basic ways to invite students.
One of them is that you can click on the invite students
and this will actually send out an invite to them,
or you can have them join with a class code.
So, first, we'll talk about the class code.
(upbeat music)
On this screen, it's a real small code right here
and if you give your students that,
you can just give it to them verbally if they're sitting
in class, or you can give it to them online.
They can type that in
and they'll automatically join the class.
So there's a couple things we wanna do
to enable to make that work better.
We're going to go to the stream tab
and then the class code is here.
If you left-click on this, it just makes it larger,
so this would be if you're actually in class
and you want the students to be able to see it.
And if you don't like this one, if you think students
will accidentally type a one or an L or an I,
you can change this code pretty easily.
You can just go to the settings for the class
and on class code, use this drop-down box
and just reset it.
So let's say we like that one better.
All right, ex back out of classroom settings.
There's your code.
Left-click on it and make it larger
and now we're going to use another browser screen
and act like we're a student to see what happens,
so I'm going to take the one that we're using here,
I'll put it over on the left.
Okay, so on the left is the teacher
and on the right is his student.
As you can see, the student on the right
isn't in any classes yet, so they actually have
a little cheater here that says join your first class,
but if they've been in Google Classroom before,
they might not see that, but, regardless,
they go in the upper-right-hand corner
and they left-click on join class
and then they get an input box
that comes up for their class code.
So let's make it big on the left-hand side again.
And we're going to type it in on the right, cwo3ju6.
So we typed it in, I left-click on join.
Takes a little minute to think about it
and there we go, the student has joined the class,
so we'll go on the left-hand side
and we'll go to the people tab again and refresh it.
And you can see that that student has joined.
You did not specifically invite that student.
The teacher account on the left didn't know
that it was going to be Michael,
but since he got the class code
and joined, now he's into the class.
Now the other way to get students
into your class is to invite them into the class.
(upbeat music)
All right, let's put a check next to Michael,
let's remove him for now and we're just going
to show the other way to invite him
which would be through email.
So, the way to invite someone through email,
instead of using the class code is
to left-click on the icon of a person
with the plus sign and that will invite the students,
so go ahead and just type their email address in.
Click invite and this will send an email to them,
so we'll go over and check our email
and see what it looks like.
So Michael got an email, it says class invitation.
When I open this up,
there's a blue rectangle that says join.
I left-click on that and this is Michael's account
and you'll see there are no classrooms
which he's joined yet, but there's
the Fundamentals of Math and he has
the option to decline or join.
So if he left-clicks on join, it thinks about it
a little bit, and then he's into the class.
So those are you two different ways to do that
and now we're going to spend some time talking
about how to add classwork to how to create the assignments
and then how to grade them when they come back.
