What do I do if I log in and it doesn't take me to the e-Appeal?
Some teachers will log in to a page that is not the e-Appeal. When this happens, look for a little black box that says "Click to View" and click on it. It will take you on in to the e-Appeal.
How do my students log in?
To log in, they use the teacher's e-mail address and the generic password we provide for everyone. There is no privacy problem because they do not have the teacher's personal password.
Can students and teachers access the e-Appeal in other places than at school?
Students and teachers can access the e-Appeal any place where there is Internet access. So students can log in at home, public libraries, the computer lab, the school library, etc.
How many licenses should I sign up for?
Most teachers sign up for as many licenses as they teach students in a day. That way all of your students will have access.
How do I use the e-Appeal if I have only one or two computers?
Some teachers send all or half of their class to the library or computer lab. When they return to the class, these students work on assignments related to the e-Appeal while the other half of the class goes to the library or computer lab. Others give students assignments to do on their own, either at the school library, public library or at home.
Is it possible to still have newspapers delivered to my school?
No, we do not deliver newspapers to schools any more.
