Google Classroom - Initial Teacher Login

Welcome to the Activate Learning Digital Platform (ALDP). For our Google Classroom integration, teachers need to import classes during their initial login. This article walks you through that process.

Step 1: Edit Class Names in Google Classroom 

In order to import classes, teachers must first add a label to each class that will be using our curricula. Classes without the required label will not be available to import.

Log into your Google Classroom account and click the icon consisting of 3 vertical dots at the top right of the class tile as pictured here:

When the "Edit Class" window opens, you will add a unique label to the class name. If your district has instructed you to use a particular label, please follow their guidance. Alternatively, you may add "ADLP" as pictured below. The label may be placed anywhere in the class name.

rename class

Please note the following

  • Teachers must have a Google Classroom account with at least one class, though the class does not have to have any students enrolled when imported. Students will be imported as they enroll in your classes.
  • It typically takes 24 hours for new accounts, new classes, and edits in Google Classroom to sync up with our system, but can take up to 48 hours.
  • Please do not add a label to classes that will not be using our curricula (e.g. Homeroom, non science classes, etc.).

Step 2: Log in to your ALDP Account

After allowing sufficient time for a Google Classroom name changes to sync up with our system, go to the ALDP login page for your district. If you do not know the address, please reach out to the Support Team for help.

You will automatically be redirect to an authentication screen asking you to enter your email address.

Once authenticated, you will be prompted to select your school:

choose school

If your school is not listed, please contact our support team so that we can add your school to the list.

Once you've selected your school, you'll see a popup window similar to the one pictured below:

Import classes from Google Classroom

Import classes

  • Check the box to the left of each class you wish to import. You should only choose classes that will be using the Activate Learning curriculum. Do not import classes that include staff members as students.
  • Click the pencil icon if you wish to edit the name of the class before importing. This action can be done at any time after importing.
  • Use the menu to the right of each class to select the appropriate grade level or subject. These options are customized for your school, so the correct choice should be obvious.
  • Click the blue Continue button when ready.

That's it! Your classes and students have been imported and you're ready to start using the system.

An Optional Step

After importing classes, you may edit the name of the classes in Activate Learning. These edits will not be overwritten by the nightly data syncs. Here's how to edit class details.

A few additional details

  • Students do not log in the same way as teachers. When teachers publish assignments in ALDP, those assignments are automatically published in Google Classroom and contain a link that students will use to access our system.
  • Rosters for your imported classes will update automatically each night.
  • If you do not import any classes during your first login, you'll get the opportunity to do so the next time you log in.
  • To import new classes after the initial import process, log into ALDP, click the question mark icon at the top of any page, and then select the Rostering option. Classes available for import will be listed below the classes previously imported.
