For teachers using Google Classroom, Speakable offers a native integration available to both free and pro users. This integration automatically imports students and classes to a Speakable account and, if changes in a class roster occur, allows teachers to re-sync their student list. In this post, we’ll share all the details Google Classroom users need to know to successfully set up their Google classroom integration and re-sync it as changes occur.

Key Benefits

• • Importing saves you and students time
  • It’s the best option to create classes in Speakable if you have a google classroom account
  • Allows you to send assignments and their corresponding grades to the Google Classroom gradebook (Pro)

Importing Google Classroom Sections

Step 5: Check your classes to make sure all the students appear.
