WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS TUTORIAL?

To use Classroom, you need to sign in on your computer or mobile device using your IUSD Google account. When you join a class on one device, you're enrolled in that class on all devices.

Step 1: How to Join a Class

• You have two ways to join a class:
  • Join a class with a class code: If your teacher gives you a class code, use this code to add yourself to the class. Your teacher might give you the code while you’re in class or email it to you.
  • Accept an invitation from your teacher: If your teacher sends you an invitation, you’ll see Join on the class card on your Classroom homepage.

Step 2: Joining with a Class Code

• Go to Google Classroom.
• At the upper right-hand corner of the page, click the Join class or + icon.

• Enter the class codes your teacher gave you and click Join. A class code consists of 6 or 7 letters or numbers. (e.g: hjhmgrk)

Step 3: Accepting an Invitation from a Teacher

• Go to Google Classroom.
• Scroll down to the bottom of the Home tab and find the class card. Click Join.
