Onboarding Document for School Admins

Schools: Integration Options

• Standard username and password
• Clever 
• ClassLink
• Google Classroom
• Google SSO 
• Microsoft Teams

Note: You can only choose one type of integration. Once you opt for one of the integrations listed above, you must have admins, teachers, and students log in to Typing.com the same way. If you don’t log in to Typing.com using the chosen method of integration, the student data and teacher account will not be synced and there will be no student progress visible in the school account. 

• Standard username and password

1. Go to https://teachers.typing.com/signup and create a School account 

2. Invite teachers/school admins to join that school account (teachers/school admins must have a Typing.com teacher account (not school account or district account) in order to accept the invitation to join the school account) 

   Note: If you see the error message "You can’t invite this teacher because s/he already exists in another district" please email support@typing.com and we will fix the error for you

3. Teachers need to create classes and add students. (link to create classes and link to add students)  
4. The students need to go to www.typing.com/student/login and log in with their login credentials. As soon as they do that, the students will get a license assigned to them and their accounts will become PLUS, ad-free accounts. 

*School admins have the ability to run reports in their own classes and access student data. They can also run reports to get an overview of each teacher including number of students, total time spent typing and total screens typed. If the school admin wants access to the student data of classes that aren’t his/hers in order to pull reports, he/she must add himself/herself as a co-teacher for all the classes. Here is a link that explains how to do that.
