Overview Educator Groups

Groups

Groups help you organize and manage students. You can create groups for a class, an afterschool club, a field trip group, a team of student interns, or any other set of students you work with.  Groups allow you to easily assign and evaluate activities, view student progress, and create a join code so students can register themselves.
