Introduction
For students to create projects in the EDPL, they must have an account. For their accounts to be linked to a teacher and school account, the following steps must be followed.
Part 1 - District Administrator Accounts
District administrator accounts are created by AMP-IT-UP. To do this, districts should e-mail the following information to: ampitup@gatech.edu
District Name
Name of District Administrator who will oversee the EDPL
Email address for the District Administrator
Instructions for how to set up the school accounts will be sent to the District Administrator once the district account has been created.
Part 2 - Creating a Teacher Account
Once teachers have received the 8-digit school (or institution) code from their district administrator, they can set up their accounts.
Go to site (www.edpl.io) and click “Create New Account” (upper right).
Select "I'm a Teacher" on the right side of the page in green.
It will slide open and the page will be tinted green so you know that you are on the correct page.
Enter all the requested information
At the bottom there will be a box for join group, enter the 8-digit code provided by district
Click “Create Account” button at bottom of page
Done
Part 3 - Creating classes accounts
Accounts can be created for each class. Only students in the same class can work together as a team on the EDPL.
Log into your teacher account
Click on your institution
Under “Create Content”, click on "workgroup" to create a new class
Complete the information--Class name (Title) and description
Click save
Repeat steps 3 - 5 for each class. It is best to make each class name unique so you can keep track of them.
Once you have created all of your classes, you should record the 8-digit code for each class to provide to the students in that class. To reveal the code at any time, click on a class (or workgroup). You will see a unique 8-digit group registration code for that class period.
