Copy the number above the Show Key button and paste it into Securly Classroom in the Consumer Key field.

Click the Show Key button, copy the value shown, and paste it into the Consumer Secret field.

For the URL, enter the base URL of your Canvas site.  This will be the URL in the address bar after you are logged into Canvas up to the point of the first slash.  For example, if you log in to Canvas and then see the URL: 

http://ec2-33-222-208-11.compute-1.amazonaws.com/login/canvas   in the address bar, you should use the base URL of http://ec2-33-222-208-11.compute-1.amazonaws.com.

After entering the values, click the Link button, then authorize the link with Canvas.

Once the sync is complete, Canvas classes should now be visible on a new Canvas Classes tab in Classes. They will be available for selection on Teacher Tools in the Selection box.
