If you’re using a Class Account, you have a unique Class Code that you can find in your Teacher Settings. Students will use the Class Code to sign into Khan Kids. Students don’t need to create their own account and do not need to enter their email address into the app at any point.
If you created your account with Clever, students can either use the Class Code or their Clever account information to sign into Khan Kids. Learn more about using Khan Kids with Clever here.
Follow this path to learn how to use Class Codes:
We also have a PDF that shows how to sign in with a Class Code in four easy steps. You can use it to show students how to sign in, or to send home so parents can join your account at home.
Step 1: Find your Class Code
Open the app and tap your teacher avatar. Enter your password to access your teacher view. Select Teacher Settings in the top left corner to find your Class Code. If you created your account with Clever, you'll need to select Enable Class Code before you'll see a Class Code. Learn more here.
You can copy or generate a new Class Code at any time by tapping the dropdown menu next to the code. Please note that if you generate a new Class Code, your old code will no longer work. You will need to share the new code with students and families so they can join your class.
Step 2: Share your Class Code
To share your Class Code, tap Share Class Code in Teacher Settings. You will see a screen with a Text Code (39VT38) and a Scan Code. When students/parents use the code they will be able to choose whether to type it in or scan it with their device’s camera.
| Note: The code "39VT38" is a sample code. | |
You have 3 options for sharing your Class Code:
|
|
You may want to print out Class Codes for students to use inside the classroom or to send home to parents. |
|
Save to Camera Roll |
You can use this option to send the Class Code to parents or students via other methods (text, other classroom apps). |
|
Email as PDF |
This will generate an email to parents that includes a message from you, along with the Class Code and instructions for using it to sign in. All you have to do is enter email addresses and press Send. |
Please note your teacher view will always require a password so students will not be able to see the teacher dashboard. Do not post your code on social media since it will allow others to access your Class Account.
Step 3. Use a Class Code to sign in.
Follow the steps below to sign in with a Class Code. You can also send this PDF to parents to help them sign in with your Class Code at home.
1. Download the free Khan Academy Kids app onto a mobile device. The app can be downloaded for free from the Apple, Google Play, or the Amazon app stores.
2. Open the Khan Academy Kids app and tap At School and then Student.
3. Type or scan the Class Code.
|
Type the Class Code in the box that says Enter Class Code. Then tap Continue. |
Tap Scan Class Code. Then, give Khan Kids access to your camera and scan the code. |
Please note that you do not have to print out the code to be able to use it. You can scan it directly from another screen or device.
4. A dialog will ask "Who will be using this device?” Choose a whole-class view or individual student view.
- If students are sharing devices at school, select your class name under Pick the whole class.
- If students are using 1:1 devices at school, or if students are using Khan Kids at home, select a student name under Or pick a student.
5. Super! You are signed in to the Class account. You will either see one student’s avatar or all the avatars in the whole class.
|
This is what the screen will look like if you select the class name on the screen above. We recommend teachers help students pick their name from this screen. |
If you select one student's name from the screen above, it will set their device like this. The next time they open the app, they'll only see their name to choose from. |
