You can be logged in as a school, student, teacher, or administrator.

This is the typical view of the home page when logged in as a school. The school icon and the school name appears in the top right corner of the screen.

To log in as an individual student or teacher, enter your username and password in the panel on the left.

When logged in as a student or teacher, the icon at the top right will change and the login area will be replaced with an avatar. Access to certain features will be limited too, depending on the type of user you are.

As an administrator, you have access to all of the features, including Manage Users, MyCity, SuccessTracker, and the Curriculum Map. Administrators also have access to school-wide Preferences. Each of these features have their own User Guides.

To ease navigation and recognition, you will notice that each subject has been given a specific color and that each item type has been given its own icon.

There are multiple options for logging into your EducationCity subscription. All users can log in directly from the main EducationCity login page.

You may want to copy a MyCity when: Differentiating work, but want to include some of the same activities for all MyCities Creating a `base' MyCity for a topic for multiple classes in a year - these can then be allocated to each staff

member for them to edit (see user guide on allocating ownership of a MyCity). Make a copy of a classwork MyCity for homework or vice versa.

Click the box of the MyCity you want to copy.

Click the Action box and choose Create Copy.

Adjust the title as necessary, choose whether you want to copy the content, the students assigned to it or both.

You will then be taken into the copied MyCity. You can then edit, save, and publish as you would when creating a new MyCity.
