ClickView allows staff and admin users, to create virtual classrooms. Much like your real-world classrooms, students can be assigned and grouped which in turn will allow for blended teaching, just like in the real classroom.
When you create a classroom, you are automatically added as the owner of the classroom. You can then go to the Staff tab and invite other members of staff into your classroom so that they can easily share content with your students.
How do I create a Classroom?
1. To create a classroom, click on the 'Classrooms' menu item from the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click the '+ Create new classroom' button, and give your classroom a name, i.e. Classroom 5-A. The Classrooms screen will show all classrooms created at your school, and you can save a classroom as a favourite by simply clicking the star in the top left of each classroom.

Groups within a classroom
With your classroom now created, along with staff and students, you may want to explore grouping students. This is particularly useful for differentiated learning within the classroom. Please see our handy guide explaining the setup and use of groups within the classroom, here.
Share to your classroom
One of the benefits of Classrooms, is the ability to easily share content to the whole class, or different cohorts of students. For more information on sharing a video, see our handy guide on Sharing.
