Creating Groups

Staff members create groups.

Members can add members, so add a few and let them do the rest.

Adding Members

Once you are a member of a group, you can add other members.

Joining a Group

Students and parents must be added to a group and will only see a group if they are a member. Staff members can see the list of all public groups and can add themselves to any group on the list.

Associate Members

Associates are people outside the school community that need to have limited access to School Loop. You might, for example, want to give a real Astronomer access to the Astronomy group or a local lawyer access to a Mock Court group. If you have such as expert, then have your administrator register this person as an Associate member of School Loop. Then you will be able to make him or her a member of your group.

Group Discussions

To opt out of group email, click "Discussion" tab on group homepage and select Don't Send Email.

Deleting a Group

The Delete Group link can be found in the Toolbox of the group for the person who created it. Administrators can also create groups.

Tip: You do not need to create a group to carry on a discussion about a topic. Each of your courses is also a group that we have already created for you. Every time you post an assignment there is always a discussion associated with it. You can set up the assignment specifically for a discussion, or students can simply clarify the assignment through a discussion with other members of the class.
