Hello Carbon Footprints Participants
We are close to beginning our first communications between the students!
There are a few things that you will need to do to get set up to have you
and your students participate.
Most of the communication will take place in ?Collaborative Classrooms? in
Taking IT Global? They have donated the space for us to have the students
participate in discussions, upload their photos, record their results in
Excel and take surveys. It is a great tool and we are really looking
forward to working with them!
You will need to sign up as a teacher and add your students to your class.
In order to sign up to the donated space in TigEd, please follow these
steps:
1- Log into Taking it Global at www.takingitglobal.org
2- At the top right, go to the section called ?For Educators?
3- In the yellow box, there is a section called ?Teachers- Click Here? and
click on that box.
4- This will take you to a page where you will need to join. If you are
already a TIG member, click on the LOGIN box. If you are not, click on
the box that says ?Sign Up?
5- Fill out the form, agree to the terms of service and click ?JOIN?
6- You will then search for the school. The school that you will look for
is ?iEARN Canada? and select that one.
7- It will take you top a page where you will select ?JOIN SCHOOL?
8- You will enter the registration code, which is ?iearn canada?
9- Once you have joined iEARN Canada, you will then be able to create your
class.
10- Go to the ?Create a Class? section and fill out the information. There
are several things that you will need to select:
? Name your class your last name
? In the privacy section, select that the student accounts will be teacher
managed
11- When you have created your class, you will then be able to add your
students.
12- Go to the section that says ?Add Students to my Class? and put
in the number of students that you have.
13- It is easier if you assign one password for all of them, so select
that option
14- You can select the e mail option
15- When you see the screen to add the students, you can select the class
password
16- You will give each student a username. You can erase the section that
says iearncanada and begin their username in the way that you want. For
example, my students will be whd-malib, depicting the initials of our
school, my first name and the first initial of the last name. DO NOT USE
YOUR STUDNNTS FULL NAME!
17- When you have entered all the information, please e mail me at
mali@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and send me the following information:
? Your class name
? Your last name.
I will then put you into the Learning Circle that you will be working with.
We appreciate that this is a little bit of work to set up, but it will be
an incredible experience for the students to be able to talk and learn
together!
Many Thanks for your assistance and cooperation,
Mali and Jim
