How do I create a class?
This article explains how teachers can create and configure classes in SpacesEDU.
Before You Start
- If your school or district uses SpacesEDU Pro with Class Rostering, your classes and students may already be set up. Log in to check before creating a new class.
- If you see an empty class called My First Class, you can rename and customize it instead of creating a new one. Click the class name and select Edit.
- Teachers can have up to 20 active (unarchived) classes at a time.
Creating a Class
- Click the Home button in the top left to open the classes panel
- Click + Add Class (bottom right)
- Enter a class name and select the applicable grade(s)
- Choose a class avatar
- Click Add Class
You will be redirected to your new class where you can start inviting students. See How do I invite students to join my class?
Editing a Class
To update a class name, grade, avatar, or settings at any time:
- Click the Home button to open the classes panel
- Click the 3 dots beside the class you want to edit
- Select Edit Class
- Make your changes across the available tabs:
Tab | What you can change |
|---|---|
General | Class name, grade(s), and avatar |
Class Settings | Allow reactions, allow students to delete their own posts, activate a sample student |
Curriculum Tags and Goals | Toggle curriculum tag and goal options on or off |
- Click Save Changes
Archiving or Leaving a Class
From the 3 dots menu beside any class on your homepage:
Option | What it does |
|---|---|
Archive Class | Hides the class from your active list. Still accessible from the Archived tab (top right). |
Leave Class | Permanently removes you from the class. The class will not appear in your Archived tab. |
Good to Know
- You can have up to 20 active classes at a time. Archive older classes to make room for new ones.
- A Class Space is created automatically when you create a class. You don't need to set it up separately.
- After creating a class, your next step is to invite students. See How do I invite students to join my class?
