How to set up a Powtoon Classroom

Legacy plan only. Classroom plans with Class Management features are no longer available for purchase. If you already hold a Classroom plan that includes Class Management features, the steps below apply to your account.

Setting up a Powtoon Classroom involves three tasks: adding a classroom group, inviting students to that group, and reviewing the Powtoons your students submit.

In this article:

• Adding a group
• Adding students to a group
• Viewing assignments submitted by students

Adding a group

To set up your classroom, start by creating a group. Log in to your account and click Classroom on the left side of the page.

1. Click Add group.
2. Fill in the group details:
   • Type the group name.
   • Type a short description of the group.
   • Mark the checkbox if students in this group are permitted to export to YouTube.
3. Click Submit. The new group appears in the My Groups section.

Adding students to a group

After you create a group, you can invite students to join it. Copy the group link and send it to the students you want to invite. When a student opens the link, they are taken to a sign-up page where they create a Powtoon account and join the group automatically.

Note: Student participation in Powtoon Classrooms follows COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) guidelines. Students do not need to provide an email address when signing up — only a username and a password.

Viewing assignments submitted by students

Students can create Powtoons and submit them for your review. All submitted Powtoons are accessible from the Classroom page.

1. In the relevant group, click the name of the student whose assignment you want to view.
2. Locate the relevant submission and click View. The student's Powtoon opens in the Powtoon player page.
