Logging In With ClassLink for the First Time BETA

Once you have configured ClassLink so the app is displayed in the LaunchPad, Typing Pal’s icon will appear.

To launch and log in to Typing Pal, double-click this icon. Typing Pal will open in a new window.

If the account is part of multiple groups or schools, a pop-up will appear asking users to choose which group or school the user wants to log in to.

Students

Students who are part of multiple groups must specify to which group they want to log in. They can check the box to save their default group and automatically log in to it in the future. If no default group is saved, the pop-up will appear each time they log in.

Teachers and school administrators

If you are part of more than one school and the administrator did not set a default school for your account, you must choose which school you want to log in to using the drop-down menu.

Check the box to save it as your default school. You will automatically log in to this school in the future. You can choose not to set a default school, and the pop-up will appear each time you log in.

Setting a Default Group or School

Setting a Default Group for Students
