How students tick off their own work

Students can tick off their own lessons. What they tick shows as Marked done and waits for a parent to confirm it; it counts in Records once you do.

Teens (13 and up): My work

Teens sign in with their own account (see How teen accounts work).

1. Set up their sign-in from their student card on My family. Once they accept, they're linked to that student. (A teen who joined before student cards: under Teens on My family, choose which student they are.)
2. To let them add their own lessons, tap Edit on their student card and tick Can add their own lessons (it's off to start).
3. Tap Save.

Your teen then sees My work in the menu: today's lessons with their notes and links, the rest of the week, anything still to catch up, and progress bars for the week, each course and the school year.

Younger students: Student mode

Students under 13 don't get their own logins. Instead, hand them your phone, tablet or computer in Student mode:

1. In the planner, tap Student mode at the bottom.
2. The first time, choose a 4-number PIN and tap Save PIN. Keep it from your students.
3. Tap your student's name. The screen shows only their day, in big type: today's lessons (theirs and whole-family ones), anything left from earlier in the week, and how many are done.
4. To leave, tap Teacher at the bottom and type the PIN.

Five wrong PINs lock it for 5 minutes. Forgot the PIN? On the Teacher screen, tap Sign out instead, sign back in, and set a new PIN.

Confirm what they ticked

• On Home, Marked done, waiting for you lists everything they've ticked. Tap Confirm, Not yet (it goes back to not done), or Confirm all.
• In the planner, a ticked lesson shows Marked done by … with the same buttons.

Show what's expected

Whatever you put in a lesson's notes shows under it on My work and in Student mode: page numbers, instructions, and links (a web address becomes a link they can tap).
