To start a class session, follow the three steps listedin the information box at the top.

 

  1. Use the "Selection" box to choose a class. Google Classroom classes are imported automatically and appear together in a group.  Manually-created classes appear in a separate list labeled "Chrome classes"
  2. A list of all students in the class will appear.  All students will be shown with a green checkmark to indicate that they are selected for inclusion in the class session. Click on any studnent who should be excluded from the class, such as students who are absent.


    If a student is still in another active class, text will be shown indicating the name of the class.  The teacher has the option of excluding or including them in the new class.  If the student is included in the new class, control of the student device will be transfered to the new class, thus "pulling the student out" of the previous one.

    When starting a class with one or more students who are still active in a previous class that is still in session, an additional warning will be displayed.



  3. Click the Start class button.


  4. Verify or change the length of the class. Either change the class length or the class end time and the opposite value will be set automatically. The default class length can be set by the system administrator in the Chrome Settings area.  Click Start.


  5. While the class is running, the remaining time counter will appear at the top, next to the Stop Class button.

 

Student Privacy Notification

 

When class starts, a notification appears for students to let them know that a class is in session on their device and that it may be monitored.

 

 

Students can also tell that a class is in session because the extension icon will change from grey to color and a notification appears when hovering over the extension.
