Fixing this issue is easy, but requires the assistance of someone with access to the schools Google Apps for Education control panel.
When Classroom is enabled for a domain, a Google Group called "Classroom Teachers" is automatically created. Membership in this group is what separates a student from a teacher. Direct access to this group is available here: classroom.google.com/teacher-group.
***WARNING: DO NOT DELETE YOUR "CLASSROOM TEACHER" GROUP!!!!!***** If you do, you will break Google Classroom. As of September 9, 2014, there is NO FIX for this issue. A surprising number of schools did delete their classroom teacher group and are unable to use Classroom. If this is your situation, follow this thread to be notified of a fix.
The default setting for Google Classroom is to allow anyone who is a member or pending member of this Google group to create a class. If this setting is unchanged, if a student were to say they were a teacher when they first use classroom, they will be able to create courses until they are rejected from the Classroom Teacher group.
When my students turn in work through Google Classroom, I am receiving two copies of the assignment. One is going into the folder that Classroom created and I'm getting another copy in my Shared (Incoming) folder. I don't want these in my Shared folder. How can I stop that from happening?
ReplyDeleteIm a student who hit teacher can i change it
ReplyDeleteThe IT director at your school will need to follow the steps in this post to re-set your permissions back to "student."
DeleteI have a student who chose the teacher role, and this is before I added teachers in the classroom-teacher group. How should I reverse the students choice?
ReplyDeleteHi Maureen! You will need to find the student and remove him/her from the "Classroom Teacher" Google Group.
DeleteHow do I add an OU to the Classroom Teacher group?
ReplyDeleteHey Tiffany! It's not very obvious. Check out this animated GIF: http://goo.gl/pudTbT
DeleteI have students who have created classrooms. I've adjusted the setting so they can't create any more, but how can I delete the classes they've created? They've invited peers and are posting information. Could get inappropriate.
ReplyDeleteHave you gone into the "Classroom teacher" Google group and removed the students? That will remove their teacher permissions.
DeleteThe only way to delete the class is to sign using their account. You will first need to archive the course, then delete it from the archive folder.
There is no way for a domain admin to access or delete classes at this time.
