Introduction
Integration with Google Classroom automates rostering by importing students, teachers, and classes directly from Google Classroom. It also enables single sign-on (SSO) using users’ Google accounts. This streamlines access and setup by eliminating the need to manually create users or classes.
Account & Data Management
School administrators or teachers use School Level accounts in the Administrator Portal to manage classes and users within a school.
Note: District Level account management is not available for those rostering with Google Classroom.
Important: To protect student data and privacy, rostering is managed directly by schools and districts. This approach gives them full control over account access and ensures data remains secure.
Adding Users & Classes
Students, teachers, and classes will be added automatically when data is synced. For Google Classroom, data is synced from the Users page under the Classes section.
Distributing Content
Once users are rostered and assigned to classes, the school account admin can distribute content to students, teachers, and entire classes.
