Log in to Google Classroom

To use any Google Classroom feature from our app, you must log in with your Classroom user first.

If you logged in to your account before opening our app, no login data will be requested. 

If you didn't log in with your Classroom user, then you'll be requested to access your Google user when you try any Classroom feature. Once you're logged in, you won't be asked again to log in.

NOTE: The new window that pops up is from Google so no delicate information from your Google account will be kept in our app.

 

If you logged in to Google with a different account than the Classroom account, a message will be displayed saying you must close the current user account and open the one from Classroom. 

You can change the user easily by answering Yes to the question on the message to open a new window with Classroom access page.

In this Classroom page, you must log out from the current incorrect account.

 

Once you're log out, you can access with your correct Classroom user in the new window that will appear. Once you log in you must go to our app again to start working with Google Classroom features. 

Link group from Google Classroom

You can link an Additio group with a group already created in Google Classroom. You can do this with Link group option. In the three vertical dots > Google Classroom > Link group. 

Once you've chosen this option, a new window will be displayed where you have to select the Google Classroom group you can to link with the Additio group.

Once you've linked the group, you'll be asked if you want to link the students of the Classroom group with the students of the Additio group too. If you press No, you can always link students afterwards. 

To unlink this group from Google Classroom click on the 3 vertical dots > Edit group > Actions > Unlink from Google Classroom. 

 

NOTE: If you click on the Google Classroom icon next to the title of the group, the Google Classroom group will be opened in a new tab. 

 

Link students from Google Classroom

If you didn't link the students when you linked the Google Classroom group, you can do it with Link students option. You only have to click on the 3 vertical dots > Google Classroom > Link students. 

When your students list is ready, click on Link students, the app will associate the students in your Additio group and the ones in your Google Classroom group. By clicking on Link all the students with the same name will be linked.

You can manually link those students that do not match, as the app will show you the students that aren't linked and you'll be able to link them. 

Those students invited to join the Google Classroom group won't be displayed in the app until they accept the invitation.

NOTE: If you want to import pictures too, you need to select option: Import pictures. 

 

When you select the student that is not linked yet, all the Google Classroom students without link will be displayed so we'll be able to choose the student we want to link our student with.

Once you've selected the Google Classroom student you want to link your student with, click on Link. 

Once all the students are linked a message will pop up with the message below. You can always Import activities and grades from the 3 vertical dots > Google Classroom > Import activities and grades. 

To unlink the student from Google Classroom you need to open the student file and click on Actions > Unlink from Google Classroom.
