How to Set Up a Google Account
How to Set Up a Google Account
To join Google Classroom, you will need a Google account. You can use (or create) a Gmail account (this is an email account and will also give you Google account access). OR, if you prefer to use an email you already have, you can create an account using that email instead. Using this option will NOT give you a Gmail address; however, you WILL have access to the Google Suite (Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Classroom, etc.)
HOW TO GET STARTED:
1. Go to: https://www.Google.com/account/about/ and click on create an account in the top right (see red circled area in the picture below).
2. CREATE A GOOGLE ACCOUNT: This will open a page that looks like this:
If you want to create a new Google account with a new Gmail address, you can input it in the box; otherwise, you should click on the “Use my current email address instead” link (see red circled area in the picture above) and follow the directions on the form.
Fill in your information with your REAL first and last names. (This will make it easier for your teachers to identify you.) Then click the “Next” button.
REMEMBER: Write down your username (email you choose) and your password so you don’t forget!
3. VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT: You will have to VERIFY your email address. Go to the email you chose and find the code. Enter the code into the box. Then click the “verify” button on the bottom right. (See example below.)
4. Once you have verified your information, fill out the next form with your personal information. Include a recovery email and a phone number so you can access your account in case something happens. Then click Next once you have filled in the form.
5. Privacy and Terms: Accept the Privacy and Terms by clicking the “I agree” button.
6. Now you have a Google account!
REMEMBER: You can access Google Classrooms, Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Docs, and Google Slides with this account.
