Step-by-Step instructions for Students and Teachers

 Go to  Click “sign in” at the top, right-hand corner of the screen.  Click “create an account now” at the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen.

 You can either create a new address ~OR~ use an existing address. I would recommend using an existing address, such as your school account or personal account. If you create a new address, just follow the prompts.

 Type in existing address (current address).  Choose a password.  Re-enter password.  Make sure “Stay Signed In” is NOT checked if using a public computer.  Check “Enable Web History” only if using a personal computer.

 Uncheck “Set Google as my default homepage” (unless you want to see it as the first page that comes up when you log onto the internet).  Keep the location as “United States”.  Enter your birthday in the MM/DD/YYYY format (you must be 18 or older). If used for classroom use, it is the teacher’s discretion on whether to allow students to change the year they were born.

 Enter the word verification. If you are having trouble reading the word verification, click the handicapped symbol.  Click “I accept. Create my account.”  You may see a message that states it needs to verify your account. Go to the address that you provided to view a message from Google. Click the link to activate your new Google account.

 After clicking the link, you MAY receive a message asking you to add a mobile phone number. This is OPTIONAL.  Congratulations. You now have a Google account. Click “Click here to manage your account profile.” ~OR~ sign in (at the top, right-hand corner of the screen).
