Everything in Parts 1–4 happens inside a space that somebody had to make first. This is that half hour: creating it, handing out the link, and staffing it with whoever is teaching alongside you.

In this clip

• Choosing Class Space rather than Design Space — only a class space carries an invite link
• Naming it after the course, and writing the description a student reads on arrival
• The invite link and its six-character code — send either one
• Students joining as themselves, with Google, Microsoft or an email address, and appearing in the members list
• Making a co-teacher or teaching assistant a manager, in one click
• What a manager gets — settings, curation, analytics — and what stays yours: archiving, deleting, and appointing anyone else

Try it: Make the space before you need it and send the link out with the first reading. A class that already has somewhere to put its thinking tends to start putting things there.
