What is Classario?

What each item in the sidebar does, and where to find the things that are not in it.

A tour of the interface

The shortest path from an empty account to a taught lesson: content, a student, a slot in the calendar, and the classroom.

Your first lesson in 10 minutes

Three ways to get students into your space: email invitation, an account you create with a PIN, or a shareable join link.

Where the Practice list comes from, how spaced review works, and how to fill it.
