Welcome to Classkick Pro! There are so many great Classkick Pro features you can start utilizing!
If you are a Pro School member, please see this document for detailed directions on how to get started!
There are so many great features to start using, but be aware that having a Pro Teacher account does not automatically create Portfolio student accounts.
With a Portfolio student account, students log in securely (Google SSO/Clever SSO/email&password combination). Teachers can also access the students' Student Overview where you can see ALL work for one student.
Check out the tips below to help you get started!
1) Set up Student Portfolio Accounts
If you're transitioning from a Basic subscription to Pro, Classkick recommends that you create a new roster to differentiate between students' Basic accounts and their new Portfolio accounts. Portfolio accounts are password protected and allow students to access all assignments on their dashboard.
Please see this article for information on how to create a roster with Portfolio student accounts.
PLEASE NOTE: There is NOT currently a way to MERGE students' Basic accounts with their Portfolio accounts.
We recommend the following steps,
1. Create a NEW roster.
2. Add the students.
3. Lock your roster.
This gives you access to all student work, but it will no longer appear on your main roster dashboard.
If you do NOT want to have different rosters and would rather delete the old roster, students and teachers can export student work to PDF's as a way to save the student work before deleting the roster.
Once a roster is deleted, you will no longer be able to access or recover the students' work.
We highly recommend creating a new roster with ONLY Portfolio students and then locking the roster will help ensure students log in correctly. A roster with a mix of Basic and Portfolio accounts can cause students to accidentally access the assignment with the wrong account.
2) Lock your Rosters
Once ALL students have joined your roster, Classkick recommends locking the roster to prevent multiple student names or duplicate accounts on one roster.
3) Remind Students to Log In
Students should click LOG IN on the Classkick login page to log in with their Portfolio accounts. They will NOT need class codes anymore. Share this article with students for visual directions on how to log in.
