Changing the name of your classroom (Teacher)

How to change the name of your classroom or give it a nickname.

*Note: You will need to ensure that your district administrator has allowed you to do this.

**Note: If you are syncing with an outside rostering system such as ClassLink or Clever, unfortunately, Typing Agent cannot overrule the classroom names; Just as they are sent to us, they have to stay that way. We understand that these names may be troublesome so the person responsible for the naming conventions in the rostering platform will need to change them. Should you not want to change the class names, teachers may use the Nickname field within Typing Agent to assist you. (At least this will give them some way to distinguish one classroom from another.) How to change the Nickname is shown at the bottom of this guide.

To change the classroom's name, select the classroom from the menu on the left.


Once in your classroom, hover over the name of your classroom until you see a pencil. Click the pencil.

Now, you can change the name of your classroom. When you're finished, hit Save.

Then, you'll see your new classroom name listed!

How to give your classroom a nickname:

Should you want to give your classroom a nickname, you may do so. Click on the classroom on the left then Settings. You land on the Class Details page. From here, you see the Nickname field where you can write the name you want to use there. Click Update when you're done.

From then on, you may click on a classroom then Class Details and see the nickname you've called this classroom.
