Classmates are those students in your class. You can request a classmate be your friend. Once you are friends, you can collaborate on writing assignments, help, or request help. You may have friends only if your teacher has enabled the sharing option. You will find your friends in the My Friends box in your profile.

The first thing a student must do is sign up using the Wizard Freebie Account. Once you have registered, you must enroll in a class.

To enroll, you must have a class code, which you can get from your teacher. Once you have your class code, you will enter it in the Enroll in a Class box on your profile page.

Once the teacher accepts you in the class, you will be able to start submitting your work assignments. If you do not enroll in a class, you will have access to only the journal topics.

The first thing you must do is add students to your roster. Once students are added to your roster, you can begin accepting writing assignments. In order for students to register for your class, you must give them your class code. You will have a different class code for each period or class. Once students have the class code, they will request to join your class. The request(s) will arrive in your Request box. To learn more, you can see “Adding Students.”
