This Guide will take you step-by-step through the sign up and site creation process for Greenville County School's Teacher Web Sites.  You may want to have two browser windows open at the same time so you can see these instructions as you follow the steps. (File / New / Window)

Click the "Sign Up" Link (no longer available - request a new teacher site through your Instructional Coach)

Fill in the form.  Be especially careful that you choose your Username  correctly. We suggest that you choose EXACTLY the same name as your District email name (even though this is a completely separate program.) It is normally your first initial and last name (but no more than 8 letters, all lower case, no spaces -- i.e. - " jdoe " for Jane Doe).  If the username you select is already taken the program will tell you that after "Submit". In that case add a number or letter -- "jmdoe".

Choose your own password - again we suggest EXACTLY the same password as you use for District email. If not, use something hard to guess that you will not forget - like your old phone number or a parent's birthday.  

Choose your school as the Web Group. 

In email address you MUST use your Greenville Email address.  This is to verify that you are authorized to use this service.  

In the "Your Name" box fill in your name in normal Title Case (i.e.: Jane Doe, NOT jane doe or Doe, Jane)

Click the "Submit" button.  You will get a screen that tells you that your account activation email has been sent to you.

This next step is vital. There is an activation email sent to you which must be done to create your account.  This prevents someone from creating an account on your behalf that you are unaware of.  Go to your email program. Read your "New User Account" email.  There will be a link in the body of the email to activate your account.  Click the link.

You will see a web page that tells you that your account is now activated.  Click the "You can log in here" link.

You will see the log in web page.  Fill in your Username login name that you chose earlier ("jdoe" in the example above).  Select your school in the Web Group. Fill in your password. Click the Login icon.

You will see the Main Menu page. Click the "Manage Your Web on the Internet" link.

You will see the Manager page.  Click the "Create New Web Page" icon.

You will see a page with the available templates.  Each on has a "Preview" link. Browse the templates and choose your site's look.

In the " Select template... " box opposite your choice, click the black drop down arrow.  Select "All templates in set".  Click the "Create from ... " button.

NOTE: This is an important step.  All the templates are designed to work as a set.  There are several pages all linked together.  By choosing "All templates in set", the program will build your site in one complete step.  All the pages, images and links are created at once.  Later on, you can add additional pages if you choose.

Choose the page you would like to work on.  Click the WYSIWYG icon (the 1st icon under the "Action" heading. and edit the page to make it your own.
