Integrate Google Classroom with SchoolAI to share Spaces directly with your students: no access codes, no hassle.
Once you're connected, SchoolAI will also suggest relevant content based on your class information and automatically track student participation.
What you get with this integration
No access codes for students: Launch a Space directly to Google Classroom and students open it right from their Classwork tab. No codes to share or troubleshoot.
Smarter content recommendations: SchoolAI uses your class name and grade level to surface relevant Spaces. Teaching 9th-grade biology? Expect suggestions like cell division or genetics.
Automatic participation tracking: When a student engages with a Space through Google Classroom, their participation is logged and the assignment is marked complete. No manual grading needed.
Step 1: Connect Google Classroom
You can connect at any of these three points, the process is the same regardless of when you do it:
During SchoolAI onboarding, select Google Classroom when prompted to connect your LMS.
From Settings > Integrations, click “+ Add Integration” and choose Google Classroom.
When launching a Space, choose the Google Classroom option from the invite screen.
Once you click through to Google Classroom:
Grant SchoolAI access to your Google account. Review the permission checkboxes and click Continue.
Select which classes you want to connect, then click Save changes.
Note: You can add or remove classes at any time from Settings > Integrations.
Step 2: Add a Space to Google Classroom
Once connected, sharing a Space takes about 30 seconds:
Find the Space you want to share and click “Preview & Launch” from its details page; then select “Launch to Students.”
On the invite screen, choose Google Classroom.
Select the class, add any instructions, then click “Add to Google Classroom.”
The Space appears as a draft in your Classwork tab.
Note: The Space is saved as a draft automatically — students won't see it until you assign it.
Step 3: Assign and launch
To make the Space visible to students:
Go to the Classwork tab in your Google Classroom.
Find the draft and click “Edit Assignment.”
Update any details, then click Assign. Use the dropdown to schedule it for a later date if needed.
To monitor student sessions, click the assignment in your Google Classroom stream. You can also view session data in SchoolAI's Mission Control dashboard.
Troubleshooting
I can't see my classes after connecting
First, confirm you're signed in to the correct Google account. Then disconnect and reconnect Google Classroom from Settings > Integrations. If the problem persists, contact SchoolAI Support.
How do I stop students from chatting during a session?
Go to your SchoolAI dashboard, find the active session under Recent Sessions, click the three-dot menu, and choose Pause or End Session. Pausing stops responses temporarily; ending the session closes it permanently. Session data is still available in Mission Control after a session ends.
Do I need to reconnect each school year?
Generally no — your integration stays active. However, if your Google account permissions change or you switch Google accounts, you may need to reconnect from Settings > Integrations.
