Teachers create classes and add students (their job)

Per teacher
  1. Once registered, the teacher can create a class (e.g. "Class 3A")
  2. Each class gets a unique code (e.g. AHNV-9773)
  3. The teacher adds students one by one via "+ Lägg till elev" (+ Add student) — choosing a name and avatar; each student gets a personal PIN
  4. The teacher shares the class code + PIN with the student
  5. The student goes to skola.schackappen.se, enters the class code, sees their name in the list, clicks themselves and enters their PIN
  6. Ask students to save their PIN — they need it to log in on new devices
