Teachers can provide home assignments to the students by enabling home access. This will allow students to access their dashboard after school hours (7 AM - 3 PM). Teachers can enable home access to help students learn and grow beyond school hours with simple steps as below:
Enabling home access digitally by updating parent's email address:
- Click on the ‘Student roster.’
- Update the parent email address under the column ‘Parent emails’ against each student and click on the ‘Invite’ button to send the home access invite over email.
Enabling home access without updating the parent's email address:
1. Print out the parent home access invitation letters.
- Download the Parent Letters using the button ‘Download Invite’.
- Print out the letters and share them with the parents physically.
2. Share the parent home access invite link
- If you don’t have parent emails, you can still enable home access for the parents in one go by quickly sharing the invite link with the parents.
- Click on the ‘Copy Invite.’
- Paste the invite link on any platforms you use to communicate with the parents.
Understanding home-access status:
As a teacher, it is essential to understand the different home-access statuses to ensure a smooth and effective learning experience for your students. Let's explore the different home-access statuses:
- Not enabled yet: The teacher has not initiated the home access process.
- Send reminder: The home access setup is pending on the parent's end. The teacher can once again send a reminder using the same link.
- Enabled: The home access has been successfully enabled for the student.
How can a teacher disable home access?
Please note that once a parent has set up a classroom-linked account, Home Access cannot be disabled. However, as a teacher, you have the option to manage Home Access by deleting classes or removing students with active Home Access.
Deleting a class or removing students with Home Access will revoke their ability to continue learning outside of the school/classroom environment. Please consider this when making decisions regarding Home Access for your class or individual students.
Points to remember:
- Email addresses for parents cannot be updated if the home access status is 'Enabled'.
- With home access, students can only access the skills and assignments assigned by the teacher, listed under the 'From My Teacher' tab.
- Students are now limited to playing two games per day in the Gamezone to promote academic concentration during school hours. However, students who have activated "Home access" can still fully explore the Gamezone after school hours.
- The classroom-linked account feature is not supported on Kindle Fire tablets and Android apps.
