edit. This can only happen after you have updated your profile properly)
- Fill in the form and click save changes at the bottom of the page.
- Your course title should include your name if other teachers in the
building teach the same subject. On the form, create an enrollment key
to keep you site visible only to your students, not the public.
Suggestion: Make the enrollment a nonsense name and number sequence that
would be hard to memorize.

students. (Everything on this form can be modified later if you change
your mind on anything.)
