STEP ACTION NARRATION
1 (Fade in to title screen) Welcome to this video tutorial on creating seating
charts using Instant Classroom.
2 (Swipe to video)
3 Open Internet Explorer In order to access Instant Classroom you first need to
open your internet browser. For this demonstration, I
will be using Internet Explorer 11. Other Web
browsers
4 Click on URL bar Once you have opened your browser click on the URL
bar and type in the web address,
https://www.superteachertools.net/instantclassroom
5 Click grey button Create a Group
Now
Scroll down and click on the button labeled Create a
Group Now.
6 Create a unique group name Here you will have to create a personalized-unique
group name.
7 Type in mrswem2014 Im going to name mine Mr. Swem 2014. If you read
the name rules Ill have to leave out the spaces and
punctuation.
8 Enter password, display name and
email address
At this point you are going to have to make up a
password, chose a display name, and enter in an
email address. I recommend writing this information
down for later use.
9 Click Create Group Button It will now take you to a page with a link to your
personal page. I suggest adding this to your favorites.
Using IE 11, you can accomplish this by pressing the
star Icon in the top right corner of the browser.
10 Click on blue hyper link Now click on the blue hyper link to go to your own
personal page.
11 Reenter password and click button
sign into this class
At this point you are going to enter the password you
created and click the button, sign into this class.
12 Click button create/import new
group
Now it time to enter student names and set up your
classrooms if you have multiple classes you will have
to do this for each class. The labor is worth it in the
long run. Click on the create/import new group
button.
13 Click on blank next to class
nickname and enter name 1
st

period
Im going to start by clicking on the black next to
nickname and entering in 1
st
period
14 Click blank next to name #1 Now you have to enter in your students names. It
gives you room to enter in 100 students. I hope none
of you actually have a class that size.
14 Type in name Nya Allen You can type in names individually like this entering
them in one at a time.
16 Click Bulk upload symbol If you like me you prefer a faster way. Click on the
bulk upload icon and you can enter in multiple names
at once. The pink window on the right allows you to
enter in multiple names separated by commas. The
grey window on the left allows you to upload a name
list file. Its complicated and aggravating. I dont
recommend that method. For the sake of saving time
I already have my class list on my clip board and am
going to paste them into the pink window.
17 Click button import names to list Now I just have to click the button labeled import
names to list.
18 Scroll down and click button
create class list
As you can see it generated all the names in the
blanks. Now scroll down in the browser and click the
button labeled create class list.
19 Click button return to groups It should let you know that you just updated your
class list. Now you can click on return to groups page.
20 Click on desk As you can see you are back at your homepage but
now you have one class listed and it even tells you
how many students you have in that class. You can
create more classes by clicking the create/import
group button and following the same step. For
training purposes we are going to move forward by
clicking the desk symbol for our class we created.
21 Click change desk size and select
small from drop menu.
As you can see we now have a screen covered in
squares with all our students names on them. Due to
size and work space, I prefer to use smaller icons. At
the top of the screen click on change desk size. You
have the options of small and tiny to choose from.
Im picking small.
22 Click add empty desk and select a
number of empty desks
If you have more desks than student. You can even
select how many empty desks you have. I
recommend doing this so you can incorporated them
into your seating chart as buffers between talkative
students.
23 Interrupt with 10 second flashing-
warning screen
This is important information. If you try to add blank
desks after you have arranged the seating, It will
undo the arrangement and you will have to start
over. I learned the hard way.
24 Click 3 desks and move them
around
To move the desks around click on a desk and hold
the mouse button down as you move it to its new
location. When you get the desk where you want you
can release the mouse button.
25 Click Print This Layout Button After your classroom is arranged click the button
print this layout to get a hard copy. These come in
especially handy for substitute teachers and to make
notes on for future changes to the seating plans.
26 Click Yellow save changes button After you have the seating chart the way you want it
click save changes. A pop up window should come up
confirming your changes have been made.
27 Click the back button Now if you click on the back button it will return you
to your home page and class listings. You can always
return to the seating chart and make changes by
clicking on the desk symbol again

28 Swipe to closing screen This concludes our video on creating a seating chart
using the website Instant Classroom. I hope you find
this to be a useful tool for years to come.
