Class Nicknames

Do your classes have long, complicated (or boring) official names? We've got you covered!

Adding a class nickname is a quick way to make it easier to tell your classes apart.

Class nicknames are:

1. optional
   
2. only seen by you, not your colleagues or co-teachers
   
3. available even if you roster through ClassLink
   
4. visible everywhere you see class names (cards, dropdown menus, leaderboards)
   
5. super easy to set up!
   

How to add a class nickname

1. Click on your name in the top right-hand corner and click 'My Classes'
   
2. Click on the class you wish to add a nickname for, and then select the 'Edit Class' tab
   
3. Fill in the Nickname field and click 'Save Changes'
   
4. Revel in how much easier it is to tell your classes apart!
   

P.S. If you change your mind, simply delete everything in the nickname field and click 'Save Changes'.
