Go to https://www.edcite.com/
Choose "join class"
Type in the Class Code
Choose a UserName and Password
Username should be first initial last name or entire first and last name, so the teacher will recognize the username
Choose a password that will be easy to remember
Give your teacher your password in case you forget it
Once a student joins, from the Dashboard, choose "Classes" and then "Join Class" to join additional classes
As assignments are given by teachers, they will show up on the Dashboard and indicate which class it is for
