Prerequisites

  • Your teacher has verified the class in Type the Word.
  • Your school Google account is enrolled in the correct Google Classroom course.
  • You know which school Google account your teacher expects you to use.

​
Sign in as a student

Go to the Type the Word login page. Under “Get started as…”, choose “Student”.
Type the Word login page with a numbered arrow pointing at Student

1 is "Student" on the login page.

On “Student login”, select “Continue with Google”. Choose the school Google account enrolled in your class, then review and approve the requested Classroom permissions.

1 is "Continue with Google" on Student login.

Always use the rostered school account. Type the Word does not match students to classes by a similar name or email address.

​
Verify access

Confirm you reach “Home” without an access or role error. Check that the account name in the upper-right is yours.

1 is your name in the upper-right corner.

If you see “You don’t have any upcoming assignments”, that is normal until a teacher creates one. See When you have no assignments for what to do in the meantime.

​
Setup complete

Student onboarding is complete when the student can sign in with the correct school account and reach “Home” without an access or role error.

​
Troubleshooting

  • No assignments appear: This is normal until a teacher creates an assignment. See When you have no assignments. If an expected assignment is missing, confirm the same Google account is enrolled in the teacher’s Classroom course.
  • Wrong role message: Start over and choose “Student” before continuing with Google.
  • Google blocks access: Ask your teacher or Workspace administrator to verify Type the Word is approved for students.
  • Shared device shows another student: Sign out of Type the Word before starting the next student’s login.

What’s next

Find your assignments on “Home”, or keep practicing until a teacher creates one.
