When you start in Headrush, you may find there are no students connected to your account. You may also find some students have been assigned to you. Regardless, you can invite students into Headrush, create their accounts, and at the same time associate them with your account. Likewise, you can create groups to organize students the way that it best suits you.

Start at My Students:

Review the participants associated with you. If you are not associated with any students, you will be prompted to create a new group:

If you know the participants already use Headrush or if you have previously invited them but want to add them to a new Group, click Add Existing.

Search for names or use the filter to choose participants. Add them to the group. Click Save. Those participants are now added to the group.

You can display a QR Code on a projector screen, or print it, and participants who already have a Headrush account can join the group using their phone's camera.
