Creating an account in Google Classroom is quick and easy - simply sign up on the Classroom home page, then let IT know that you are ready to be 'approved' as a teacher user. Let's look at the details:
- Open a web browser and log into your school MyMTSD Google account (Mail, Drive, etc.).
- Use the 'waffle' button to select "Classroom," or type in the address directly into your browser: http://classroom.google.com
-
- Near the bottom of the page you will see 'Get started using Classroom: I am a [Student] [Teacher]
- Click the "Teacher" button.
- Your request goes into the approval queue, however IT is not automatically emailed by the system when someone submits the request.
- Send a Helpdesk ticket letting IT know to approve you as a Classroom teacher, and within 48 hours you will be all set.
- When your account has been switched to an approved teacher, you will notice your Classroom screen looks different; it will say 'Create a class' instead of 'Join a class' (image below).
