Classroom Manager gets its information from Google so if there's an error or a lack of information please check your Google account first. Check that your device and the student's devices are switched on and connected to the network, the network has access to the internet, and that the student is logged in.
To read more about how to use Classroom Manager Teacher Portal, please see the Classroom Manager Teacher Portal User Assistance.
If you can't log in
Check that you can log into google and if you can't log into Google then the issue is with Google. However, if you can log into Google but not Classroom Manager then you need to contact support.
If no classes are showing on the My classes page
There might be an error in syncing. Log into Google and check your classes. If you can see your classes are fine but still can't see your classes on the My Classes page, raise a support request.
If you can't see any of your students in the Student list page
Log into your google classroom management and check that you have all of your students there. If you still can't see your expected students raise a support request. If there is a student is present but the student is not connected on the list, you need to check that the student's device is switched on and the student is logged in their device.
If you can't start a session
If you get an error when starting a session, log out of Classroom Manager and try logging in again. If you still can't start the session, you should contact support.
If you can't take a snapshot or the Session page isn't showing one or more student's screens
Check your and your student's network connection. If you can't see a video of the student's screen the website might be the chrome setting page which we can't show. For example, chrome://settings/. You should go and check the student's screen but you should still be able to see this in the displayed URL.
A student has disappeared during an active session.
On the grid view the students status can be seen. The student needs to restart their Chromebook.
A student using Windows can't log back into their device
If user logs out of their device and the teacher issues a lock, the student does not see the lock overlay. It looks like they can successfully attempt to log in. However, because the lock is actually in place behind the scenes, it doesn’t actually submit their given password, because the lock prevents it. Therefore, the student is told that their password is incorrect, but in fact all they are doing is submitting enter. This could have the effect of confusing a user into locking out their machine by entering the “wrong” password multiple times. The only fix is for the teacher to unlock the device, to allow keyboard entries to be made again.
A student using Windows restarts their computer but I can't reconnect them the session
You need to click the Student tab, select them, remove them, and then repeat to add them back into the session.
Can a student get around the lock when using Chromebook by closing and reopening Chrome?
If a student closes Chrome and you have locked their device, when the student reopens Chrome, they will see the homepage, but if they try to do anything the lock page is displayed.
