To link your Google Classes, a process often used when integrating Google Classroom with another educational system, you can initiate the linking or importing process using one of two primary methods as described in the reference:
You can link your Google Classes by either selecting an Import Google Classes button on the Classes page or by accessing the Settings within a specific class after selecting it from the top menu bar.
Here are the steps based on the methods mentioned:
Methods to Initiate Google Class Linking
Based on the provided reference, there are two common ways to begin the process of linking or importing your Google Classes into a system that integrates with Google Classroom.
Method 1: Using the Import Button
Many integrating platforms provide a direct button to start bringing your Google Classes into their system.
- Look for an Import Google Classes button.
- This button is typically found on a page dedicated to managing classes within the integrating system.
- Clicking this button will launch the linking or importing workflow.
Method 2: Via Class Settings
You can also initiate the linking process from within the settings of a specific class, once you have selected it.
- Navigate to the Classes section on the top menu bar.
- Select a specific class that you wish to link.
- Find and select Settings located below your class name or details.
- Within the settings menu, you will likely find an option to manage the link to Google Classroom or start the import process for that specific class.
| Method | Starting Point | Action to Take |
|---|---|---|
| Import Button | Classes Page | Click Import Google Classes button |
| Class Settings | Select Classes > Select a Class | Select Settings below the class |
Understanding "Linking Classes" in this Context
While Google Classroom itself does not have a feature to 'link' two separate Google Classrooms together (like merging them), the term "linking classes" as used in the reference typically refers to the process of connecting your existing Google Classrooms to an external educational platform or system.
This external system might be:
- A Student Information System (SIS).
- A learning management platform (other than Google Classroom).
- An assessment platform.
- A gradebook system.
The linking or importing process allows the external system to access information from your Google Classrooms (like rosters, assignments, grades, etc.) to enable features within that system. The steps provided in the reference describe how to initiate this integration process from the perspective of the external system.
By following one of the methods above – either clicking the dedicated import button or accessing settings for a specific class – you begin the necessary steps within the integrating platform to connect it with your Google Classroom account and import or link your classes.
