Adding Students to a Class

While students can create accounts and add themselves to your Class by entering your Class Code, younger learners might prefer having their accounts set up for them by the teacher. As the teacher, you can add students to your class via Manual Upload, adding from an existing student list, or by uploading a CSV file

 

Watch a video about creating student accounts here, or read the steps below for more details.

 

1. Manual Upload

Step 1

In your Classroom Dashboard, select the Class you'd like to add students to.

Step 2

Click on the pink 'Add Students' button on the right side of your Dashboard.

Step 4

Continue the process for all students in your Class, and don't forget to click on the '+' sign again after you've filled in your last student!

NOTE: if you'd like all of your students to share the same password, simply click on 'Use One Password' and then fill in the shared password.

Step 5

You can write down the usernames and passwords that you create, and pass them to your students. Then, click 'Save'.

NOTE: you can change these later, and you can also export their login credentials.

In addition, you can set up Picture Passwords for your younger learners to login easily. Learn about setting Simple Login (Picture Passwords) for students here.

 

2. Adding from an existing student list

If you have added students previously in your Classroom Dashboard, you can add them to your new Class by selecting them under the 'Add from Student List' tab.
