Summary


Your class is now online! In this chapter, you have personalized it, added information and materials, and invited a co-teacher.

After creating a class, you changed the theme of the class by using the various themes and patterns in Google Classroom. In addition, you uploaded a new image to use as a theme.

Then you added the class information in the About page, where you gave the class a title, description, and room number. Afterwards, you uploaded files to the About page. Finally, you invited another teacher to the class. These are the first steps towards accessing the time saving communication and management features of the app!

Now that the class is all set up, it's time to invite the students. In the next chapter, you will learn what it takes for students to access Google Classroom, as well as how to invite students to your class.
