Onboarding Document for District Admins

Districts: Integration Options

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

Tips: 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 login to Typing.com the same way. If you don’t login 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 district account. 

• Standard username and password

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