A Migration Plan From Google Classroom to QuizByt, in Five Steps

The migrations that fail are the ones that switch everything on a Monday. Teachers have a new login, students have a new login, the announcements are in two places, and by Friday the school is back on Classroom because it was familiar. This plan is the opposite: five steps, one term, and Classroom stays open throughout for the things it does well.

Step 1: Set the school up (one day)

Create the school, its branches if it has them, its classes and its teachers in the portal. Then onboard students one of two ways: a class coupon that students redeem themselves at registration, or a bulk import from a CSV or spreadsheet that creates the accounts and emails each student a one-time login link. Both are described in set up a whole school in a day.

Set each class's rules now (retries, attempts, hints, read-aloud) so no teacher has to think about them later.

Step 2: Move the weekly test (weeks 1–3)

Pick one subject in one class and move only its weekly test. Nothing else changes: the lesson is still taught however it was taught, the announcement still goes on Classroom. The test is assigned in QuizByt, marks itself, and the teacher sees per-topic results the same lesson.

This is the step that makes the case or does not. If the teacher's re-teach on Thursday is better because Monday's results said which topic, extend it to the other subjects. If not, stop here. You have learned that cheaply.

Step 3: Move the practice (weeks 4–7)

Every topic has quizzes at three levels. Set the middle level as homework, the harder level for the students who scored well, the easier for those who did not. A teacher does this in three assignments, and the students who need more practice get more practice without anyone being singled out in the room.

Keep printing worksheets throughout. Handwriting at speed is still what exams test, and every topic has a printable sheet.

Step 4: Move the lessons (weeks 8–11)

Only once teachers trust steps 2 and 3. The school's own Learn section takes lessons written by teachers, imported from the catalogue and adapted, or on the Premium plan drafted from a PDF chapter. A lesson advances one idea at a time and ends on a quiz about the same topic, which is why it goes last: it changes how something is taught, not only how it is marked. Scrolling lessons instead of slide decks says what does and does not change.

Step 5: Decide with the numbers (week 12)

At the end of the term, open the class reports. Look at how many quizzes were taken, which topics the class was weak on and whether they improved on the retry, and how many hours of marking teachers did not do. Then open Classroom and count what it was used for in the last month.

If the answer is "announcements", the school decides whether a second login is worth it for those. If Classroom was still carrying work to be done, find out why, usually it is a teacher who was never shown step 2.

What this plan leaves out

It does not move announcements, a term calendar or shared documents, because QuizByt does not have them. A migration plan that pretended otherwise would fail at step 1.
