Create Your Classroom

• • You can add your own Google Classroom by clicking on the plus sign and select "Create"

  • Your class code will automatically be generated. You can then share the code or link with your students so they can join your class.

  • You should request that your students share the code for their classrooms so you can click on "Join" and type in the code. You will then be able to view their progress and evaluate their Classroom at the end of the term.

Suggestion: Set up your Google Meet address for this class as well. Students can then use Google Meet rather than Zoom to make the "live" and "hybrid" or "blended" sections of the course more cohesive for student meetings.

You may wish to make a model of a classroom for your subject area or for this course so you can share with your students.

• • You can set your Google account to go back and forth between your other Google accounts by adding your different accounts to your login window.

  • Tip: Use a different photo in your UMass Global G-Suite account so you can quickly see which Google account you are in.

  • Your Google email account must have the mail.umassglobal.edu address.

  • If you click on the faculty tab to access email, you will go to Microsoft Online Office 365 UMass Global faculty email.
