Creating Google Groups for teachers

If a lot of teachers will be using SMART amp, you can use Google Groups to easily import them into SMART amp.

If you’ve set up your groups in a different way, or if you don’t want to set up teacher groups right now, you can add teachers individually to SMART amp using the SMART amp administrator dashboard. See Adding teachers to SMART amp.

To create a teacher group

1. Sign in to the Google Admin console at https://admin.google.com.

2. Click Groups, and then click Create group.

   Tip 

   If you don’t see the Groups icon, open the More controls section.

   The Create new group window appears.

3. Enter the appropriate information for your new group.

   Important 

   When creating a new group or editing an existing group, do not select Add all users within [your domain] to this group, because you are unable to import those users into SMART amp. See Adding users to your Google Apps domain.

4. Click Create to create your new group.

   The group’s dashboard appears.

5. Click Manage users in [group name].

   The Advanced group settings window opens.

6. Add the email addresses of the group’s members, separated by commas. When you’re finished, click Add.
