How Do I Make Groups in Kiddom?
In Kiddom, you have the ability to form small groups within your class for team activities and differentiated learning!
Creating New Groups
To create a group, navigate to your Classroom page. If this is your first time making a group, click the "Groups" tab at the top of the page then click the blue "Create Group" button located in the center of the screen. If you have already established groups in your class, you can create new groups by clicking the blue "Add People" icon in the upper right corner and selecting "Add Group".
Next, you'll need to give your new group a name. Please note that this name will be visible to students in the group.
Then, select which students you want to add to the group by using the checkboxes next to each student's avatar. Each group needs a minimum of 2 students and will always include the teacher by default. Click "Save" to create the group.
Changing or Deleting Groups
Once your groups are formed, you can locate them within the "Groups" tab. To edit or delete a group, click on the group. A sidebar menu will appear. Click on the 3-dot button and select "Edit" to rename or add/remove students from the group. Click "Delete" to delete the group.
Interacting with Groups
To interact with a group, click on the group and click "Enter Group". From here, you'll see the students in your group and can interact with them using tools such as the whiteboard and chat features.
Assigning to Groups
You can also assign activities to select groups using the "Assign" flow in Kiddom. When assigning the activity, you can change who the assignment goes to by using the "Assign To" drop-down. Within the drop-down is an option to select groups to assign to rather than to the whole class. This is a great way to assign group work or to differentiate instruction! For example, if you have students that need a read-aloud version of an assessment, you can create a group containing those students and assign that specific version to them while assigning a different version to other students within the class.
