Practice first if you like. In the app, this walkthrough can run in practice mode with a sample school, so nothing is saved to a real account. If you’re not signed in, practice mode is the only mode.

Step by step

Where: My classes.

  1. Your classes

    Each class you teach has its own tab. Your school admin assigns classes to you.

  2. The roster

    Each student shows whether their parent is linked, invited or not invited yet.

  3. Add students

    Open “Add students” to add one student, or paste a whole list.

  4. One name at a time

    Type a first name and an initial. Ponder doesn’t need full names or photos.

  5. Or paste a list

    To add a whole class at once, paste several names here, one per line.

  6. Add to roster

    Tap “Add to roster”.

  7. They’re on the roster

    New students appear straight away. Next, invite their parents so families can see homework.
