Creating student accounts
How to give your students access
Step 1.
Log in, open the dropdown menu under your name, and click on "Student access'.Note that you can gain student access from any non-teacher only page (not just the home page) simply by clicking on the arrow by your name and then selecting 'Student access' from the drop-down menu.
Once you click on 'Student access' it will open up to give you six choices: 'Dashboard', 'My groups', 'All students', 'All assignments', 'qBank' and 'Help'. (If you get stuck at any time the 'Help' button will hopefully rescue you.)
Step 2.
Click on 'My groups'.
Step 3.
Set up a new group by clicking on '+ New group'. (In the image the group "SL Chem 2022-2024 already exists.)
Step 4.
Name the group
Give a name to your new group then click on 'Next'. This will bring up the unique URL for the group.
Step 5.
Invite students to join the group by copying the unique URL that appears.
Step 6.
Give this URL to your students. Once they open the page on their laptop, phone or tablet etc. they will need to follow simple instructions, by creating a password etc., to be able to join the group.
If they already have an InThinking student account for one of their other IB subjects your students can access all their subjects once they have logged in using the same password. You might wish to consider adding yourself as a student to the group as then you can easily log in as a student and view exactly what your students can see (although you can browse as a student anyway if you click on 'View as a student' when you access your groups).
If students do not already have a password they just create a new account.
Step 7.
Student use of site.
Once the students activate their account they will see all the subjects they have access to. It will also tell them which assignments are pending and which are completed.
Clicking on the subject will take them to their home page.
Now they can access the student pages at any time simply by logging on to https://www.student.thinkib.net/ and entering their password.
