Account Settings - How to edit your TG Account

A. Change: Teacher’s Password

  1. Login to the site using a teacher account.
  2. Go to Edit Profile (top right) on the black bar
  3. Go to Account Management 
  4. Set New Password
  5. Go to the bottom of that page and press Update Profile

Never share your teacher’s login details with anyone else. We strongly advise that every curriculum teacher in your music department change their teacher’s account password to something secure/personal to them.

B. Change: Student’s Password

  1. In order to edit your school’s student account (password or username) please contact info@TeachingGadget.com from one of the teacher emails assigned to your school.

———————————————————————————————————————————

C. Add/Edit: Class Codes

  1. Login to the site using a teacher account.
  2. Go to Edit Profile (top right) on the black bar
  3. Go to Class Names 
  4. Now add your Class Codes in a vertical order like this:

7A

7C

8A

  1. Go to the bottom of the page and press Update Profile

Hint: If your first Class Code reads: ‘CLICK HERE TO CHOOSE YOUR CLASS’ this will prompt your students to select their correct teaching group/class code and not merely use the top default one in your list. TeachingGadget does this by not allowing a submission with the class reading: CLICK HERE TO CHOOSE YOUR CLASS.

Class Codes should only be added to one teachers account (if your school have multiple teachers in your music department). Please keep the Class Names field of additional teacher accounts blank.

F. How do Students Submit Work? 

  1. All students login to the site using your school’s student account (each school has one student account, so every student uses the same username and password).

  3. At the end of each game a submission dialogue box will appear. This will ask students to choose their teaching group from a drop down menu (from your ClassCodes list - see point C for more details).
