I need to register my students and set up my classroom(s)

You may be tempted to register all your students yourself, but it makes more sense to let them do it themselves. Here's why:

• You can't sign up students if you are logged in. You must log out first.
• Your entire class can sign up themselves in less time than you can.
• If you create the student sign ups, then you'll need to manage their passwords. However, if they create their own usernames and passwords, they can reset their passwords without bothering you by providing the answer to the security question they submitted when they signed up.

Here's how your students can join and use TweenTribune. After you receive your confirmation email, invite your students to join, by clicking the "Student sign up" link at the top of the homepage.

Each student will enter a unique user name (usually the student’s first name, or first name and last initial) and a password of his or her choice. No last names or spaces between words. Letters or numbers can be added to the name if the desired name is already in use.

Then he or she will select your classroom from a series of dropdown menus, beginning with your state. We set up your classrooms for you, based on the information you submitted with your request for registration. It’s that easy.
