How to add a new Class

One of the first things to do when you sign up for Plickers is to add your Classes. You can do this via Google Classroom, or manually within plickers.com.

Here's a little more detail on each method...

Using Google Classroom

If you have a Google Classroom account set up, you can link it to Plickers. You won't need to spend extra time re-entering your student rosters, and any edits you make to your students in Google Classroom can be transferred to your Plickers account (see note below).

Here's how to add your Class with Google:

1. Head over to plickers.com on your laptop/computer and sign in

   You'll see the following homepage:

   

2. In the left-hand sidebar, click on the link called 'New Class'

   A popup window will appear that looks like this:

    

3. Click on 'Import from Google Classroom...'

4. Select the Google account you wish to use and follow the instructions

   You'll be asked to allow Plickers access to your account.

5. Select the Classes you'd like to import

   You can check the boxes next to your chosen Classes, then press the blue Import Classes button (as shown below).

    

6. Your Classes will then appear in the left-hand sidebar of your Plickers homepage

If you then click on one of your Classes, your Class Homepage will appear, and you'll see at the bottom of the page that your student roster has automatically been imported.
