Features of Skritter Classroom
- Create accounts for every student in your program.

- Assign custom settings (individual sections, item parts, etc.) to all assignments
- Reset user passwords with one click

How do I start using it?
Before you can log in to Skritter Classroom each teacher will need to have a personal Skritter account. Skritter Classroom does not replace the actual website or mobile applications but rather is designed as a tool to be used in conjunction with the Skritter website.
Can students use Skritter Classroom?
No. At the moment, the only time students will need to access this client is when they first join a classroom you've created. At that time students will be asked to provide their real names to help associate usernames with each student. You'd be surprised what students can come up with when asked to create their own!
After a student has been added to a classroom, the decks that you assign will be automatically added to their accounts. You can learn more about student accounts and setup here.
What if I have additional questions?
We understand that Skritter Classroom is new, and might be prone to nasty bugs, or things that aren't immediately clear or obvious. Our team is dedicated to fixing bugs as we find them and we will continue to improve upon and create new Institutional Docs articles based on the feedback from teachers everywhere.
You can also contact our support team at any time and we will be happy to help answer any questions you might have.
