Once you start the Educator membership for My Storybook, you can easily add your whole class in just a couple of minutes.

Step 1: In your library, click the "Add a classroom library" button to create a new library for your students.

Step 2:

If you are a Google classroom user, click the "Import classroom" button, connect to Google, and choose a class to import. This will automatically populate your class details and students!

If you don't use Google classroom, no problem! Just enter a name for your library, for example "Grade 3 english", and a short description for your class. 

Next, add the name you want for each student and their email address. 

Note: currently only google/gmail accounts are supported. We hope to add more in the future!

Step 3: Save your library, and you're done!

You now have your library all set up. When you go to mystorybook.com/library you'll see the new library below your own personal books.

Using your classroom library

You can add stories to your library by going to a story, publishing it, and choosing "Add to library" to select a library.

Your students can now log in at mystorybook.com/signin. When they create a story and make it public the story will show up in your library automatically!
