   • World URL: Choose a URL for your world. The text entered here appears at the end of the URL. We recommend the following format: school-yourName-class (e.g., schoolspace.io/riverside-smith-algebra). 

6. Click Create World.

7. Your new world will now appear in the Worlds tab where it can be launched. To give students access to the world, create an event that uses the world and choose to invite all students in the course or a specific section.
