My Groups
My Groups allows you to create and manage groups of Teachers' Domain users. These groups can access the resource folders you create. They can view resources using the links you've saved and the notes you've added, but they cannot edit your work.
Group access to folders can be useful for teachers providing resources to groups of students, students or teachers working on group projects or sharing ideas, and students presenting portfolio folders to teachers.
You must invite others to join your groups. Under the group name is a group ID number. Give this number to those you want to invite to join.

Click "Create a new group." Enter a title and a description (optional), and then click the "Create New Group" button. People in your groups can see this description.
By default, anyone who enters the ID number assigned to your group will gain access to it. If you want to screen users who request such access, click to uncheck the "Allow all access requests" checkbox.

Use this area to make changes to a group name or description, to add or remove users from a group, to change how you handle access requests, to delete a group, or to add or remove folders accessible to a group.
Under the group name is a group ID number. Give this number to those you want to invite to join.
Use the "Rename group" and "Add/Edit group description" links to change these items. When you have edited the text, click the "Save" button.

If you are screening access requests, you will see the number of users requesting access. To add users, click "Add/Remove Users," click the check box next to the names of users requesting access that you'd like to add, then click the "Add Checked Users" button.
To remove users from a group, click "Add/Remove Users," click the check box next to the names of users you want to remove, then click the "Remove Checked Users" button.

To join a group created by another Teachers' Domain user, click "Join a group," enter that group's ID number (which he or she will provide to you), and then click the "Join Group" button.

This area lists all groups you have asked to join and displays the name of the person who set up the group. If you asked to join a group that does not automatically accept all requests, you will see "Group pending access" until you gain approval to join. To leave a group, click "Remove me from this group" and then confirm by clicking the "Remove Me" button.

Here you can see a listing of the folders available to a particular group. If it's a group you created, you can determine which of your folders the group can access. Click "Add/Remove Folders." Then click the relevant check boxes next to each folder's name, and confirm your selection with the "Add Checked Folders" or "Remove Checked Folders" button.
Note: You can grant group access to any folder you create (but not to My Resources). Users in your group are allowed to see resource lists and notes, but cannot make any changes to your folders.
For groups you have joined, you can see which folders are available to you and determine whether to display those folder names in your "My Folders" pull-down menu.
