Registering Student Accounts and Sign In Process

All students on Write About are managed by a Teacher. Teachers can have up to 250 students. (Want to manage accounts as a School, instead?)

Account Types

• Non-Google: Students sign in with a username and password
  
  
• Google: Students sign in to Write About with the Google button via their school Google account
  • Teachers can import their Google classroom upon or after registering with a 
    Google-associate Write About account.   
    
    
  • Students can also register themselves to create a Google-associated Write About account

Teacher Code

Each teacher is assigned a 6 digit code. Students added will be associated with that code. If students are registering themselves, they will need the code to register.

Student Account Data

Required: A student first name, username and password are required.

>Usernames cannot be changed later and must be unique to the teacher. (Do not include the student full name in their username)

Optional: Last names are optional and are never displayed to anyone other than the teacher. A last initial can be used.

>Google Accounts are populated using the First and Last name in their Google data.

Options for Registering Student Accounts:

• By the Teacher (included during teacher registration OR at any time from your Manage Students area)

Student Sign In

www.writeabout.com/signin

Non-Google: 

• From www.writeabout.com/signin, students sign in using your Teacher Code, their Username and Password.

Recommended: Bookmark your Custom Student Login Page (link available from your STUDENTS area) so that students do not need to type your teacher code or a username every time they sign in! Example:
