Video transcript
- Hi, I'm Ankita from Khan Academy. This video is an overview of how to set up your classes and rosters. First, log in, and you'll
see your teacher dashboard. This is your hub for all teacher activity. From the teacher dashboard,
you can quickly navigate to your classes, see a
list of your students, and access teacher resources. You can create a new class here. We recommend you create separate classes for each period or group
of students you teach. If you already use Google
Classroom, importing your classes is the fastest way to
get your students set up. If you don't use Google Classroom, you can create a new class from scratch. Next, assign a course. Scroll down to view the full
list of courses available. You can choose one or multiple courses. Many teachers use courses
from the prior year for review and remediation. Don't worry, you can edit your class name and courses later if you change your mind. Next is class rostering. Again, if you use Google Classroom, we recommend importing your
rosters using that method. Students can also join
your class themselves by using the class code. Remember, all students should
sign up with their school email when they're using Khan
Academy as part of your class. If your students are
under 13 and don't have Google Accounts, you can
manually create Khan Academy accounts for them. We generate usernames and passwords. You can edit the passwords to
whatever you prefer for your students, and you'll have the
chance to download the full list of usernames and
passwords for later reference. Students may forget their
information, so make sure to download and save this master copy. To keep your roster up
to date, select a class, and go to the roster tab. If a new student joins your
class, click the add new students button and use your
preferred rostering method. If a student switches to
a different class period, select that student and then
click the add to class link. Afterwards, you may want to
use the remove the student link to take the student out
of the original class. If you're no longer teaching
a student, select their name and click the stop coaching link. That will remove the student
from all your class rosters. You may want to empty out
your entire class roster at the end of each school
year by selecting all students and then clicking the stop coaching link. As a teacher, you can edit
any student's display name by hovering over the student's name and clicking the edit display name link. Type in a new name, click save
or enter, and you're done. A student can change their name
from their student homepage by clicking the box with their name and editing real name field at the top. For most other changes to your class, go to the settings tab. Here, you can edit the class
name, change the subject, delete the class altogether and make other important changes. For more information, go to
