Create a New Class (Teacher)

Ready to set up a new class on Typing.com? It's a breeze! Whether you're organizing your roster or starting fresh, we've got the steps to make it simple and fun. Follow along to get your class up and running in no time!

Pro-Tips:

• Pro-Tip 1: If you roster your classes through Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams or Clever Library, add and remove classes in that platform first, then bring them across with the sync button on the Classes page. It names your provider: on a Google Classroom account it reads Sync with Google Classroom.

• Pro-Tip 2: For Clever or ClassLink users, add/remove classes in Clever/ClassLink first, then wait for the account to re-sync overnight.

Step 1: Log in to your Teacher Portal HERE.

Step 2: Click the plus button in the top right of the Teacher Portal.

Step 3: Click Add a Class.

Step 4: Create New Class opens with two ways to go. Click Create Manually to set the class up on Typing.com yourself.

Step 5: Fill in the class Class Name, an optional Period, and pick a Curriculum.

Pro-Tip: Setting up several classes at once? Click Add another class and a second set of fields appears on the same form; the button then reads Create Classes.

Pro-Tip: A class's status lives in Class Settings > Advanced Options, under Set Class Status. While a class is set to Paused there, your students cannot log in until it is Active again. To learn more about this feature, click here.

Step 6: Click Create Class. It stays grayed out until the class has a name.

That's it! You've successfully created a class. Next, you'll want to add students. Click HERE to learn how to add students to your classes. Happy teaching! 😊
