Set up a Canvas teacher - Type the Word

Prerequisites

Your administrator has completed Connect your SIS and Connect to Canvas.
Your Canvas account is a teacher in at least one connected course.

Launch Type the Word

Sign in to Canvas with your teacher account. Open your course and select Type the Word in the course navigation, or open a Type the Word assignment. Complete the Clever authorization prompt if it appears, then wait for Type the Word to open a class.

On a shared device, always launch from your own Canvas session. Type the Word ends the previous local session before beginning a new Canvas login.

Verify your classes

After you sign in, the “Classroom” dropdown in the sidebar lists the classes you teach that are shared with Type the Word. Select the class you want to manage.

Classroom sidebar with the class dropdown open and a numbered arrow pointing at 7th Grade - Literature Class — 1 is "7th Grade - Literature Class" in the Classroom dropdown. Your class names will match your Canvas courses.

From there, select “Students” and compare the roster with the same course in Canvas.

Setup complete

Teacher onboarding is complete when you can open a class and see its expected student roster. Continue by sharing the student setup guide.

Troubleshooting

No classes appear: Ask your administrator to confirm your sections are in the AnySchool roster and matched to Canvas.
Roster is out of date: Confirm Canvas and your SIS contain the correction. Type the Word syncs your roster nightly.
