To add students to your Google Classroom, you'll primarily use an invite link or a class code. Here's how:
Method 1: Using an Invite Link
- Go to Google Classroom: Navigate to classroom.google.com and click Sign In. Use your Google Account (e.g., [email protected] or [email protected]).
- Copy the Invite Link: On the class card for the classroom you want to add students to, click the three dots (More) and then select Copy invite link.
- Share the Link: Paste the copied link into an email, a messaging app, or any platform you use to communicate with your students.
- Student Joins: Students simply click the link to join the class.
Method 2: Sharing the Class Code
While not explicitly mentioned in the provided text, this is a common and useful method:
- Find the Class Code: In your Google Classroom, usually displayed prominently in the banner or "Stream" page, you'll see a class code (a string of letters and numbers).
- Share the Code: Provide this code to your students.
- Students Join Using the Code: Students go to classroom.google.com, click the "+" icon (Join class), and enter the provided class code.
Important Considerations:
- Student Accounts: Ensure students have Google Accounts (either personal Gmail accounts or school-provided accounts) to join the class.
- Email Limitations: If you're emailing the invite link to a large class, be mindful of email sending limits.
- Disabling the Code/Link: You can reset or disable the class code or invite link if you need to prevent further enrollments. This can be done in the Classroom settings.
By using either the invite link or the class code, you can easily add students to your Google Classroom, fostering a collaborative learning environment.
