Adding Students
Upon successfully creating a class, you will be prompted to add a list of students. You can paste a list into the field provided, or add students by typing their name, and hitting enter. You will have some options for student login names and passwords. By selecting "Single" in the passwords section, you will be asked to enter a single password that will be used by all students. You can also choose "None" to allow students to login without a password.
Note: You can edit student passwords by clicking the "Students" icon on the home screen, selecting a class, clicking the orange "Edit Students" button, and entering the new passwords into the password field for each student. You can hit enter after inputting each password to quickly move to the next field.
