Split a class into activity groups
Teachers can deal a class into random working groups, change them, and save them so each student sees which group they are in.

Groups is for teachers and school admins. It uses the class list of your school.
Step 1: Open the wrench and choose Groups, or press the Groups tile on the Tools page. If a subject is open in Curriculum, that class is chosen for you.
Step 2: If not, pick a Grade and a Subject. Teachers only see the classes they are assigned to.
Step 3: The class is dealt into groups of about four. Press − or + beside Groups to change how many groups there are; the class is dealt again each time.
Step 4: Press Shuffle to deal new groups.
Step 5: To leave a student out, for example if they are absent, press the X beside their name. They move to Not in a group. Tap their name there, or press Add all, to put them back.
Step 6: Press Save & show students. The button changes to Saved, and students in the class can now see their group.
Step 7: To take the groups away, press Clear.
