Admin Dashboard

Adding Teacher Accounts

Adding a teacher account authorizes that account to access the Teacher Dashboard with their credentials. Administrators can add teacher accounts manually, import them from a text file, or import them from the following rostering platforms: Google Workspace, OneRoster, Clever, ClassLink, Brightspace, or Canvas.

Important

Teacher Dashboard accounts do not use a Blocksi license and as such do not need to have the Blocksi Enterprise Edition extension deployed to their devices.

Manually Adding Teacher Accounts
To add a teacher account manually:

  1. Click Dashboard Settings from the Main Menu, then click Teacher Dashboard from its sub-menu. The Teacher Accounts screen appears.
