Use your school’s Typing Agent account. The options you see depend on your role, permissions, and roster setup. If your school uses Clever or ClassLink, follow your administrator’s process for roster changes.
Sign in with your school account
Everyone, students and teachers alike, signs in at the same Typing Agent web address that your school gives you.
Choose your school’s sign-in button, such as Google, Microsoft, Clever, or ClassLink. Use your school account.
If you sign in with a username, enter your username and password. Enter your school domain if the page asks for it.
Select Sign in. Check that you have opened your own account.
Choose the sign-in method your school uses. Your school may show fewer buttons.
Helpful tip: A sign-in button and a roster connection do different jobs. Ask your administrator if your account is missing or opens the wrong school.
Know what your role lets you do
Check your role: teacher, school administrator, district administrator, or student.
Teachers manage their assigned classes and students. School administrators manage their school. District administrators work across their district’s schools.
If a button is missing, ask your administrator to check your role and permissions.
Helpful tip: Two people can see different menus because they have different roles or permissions.

Staff and families
Help a student who is using an iPad
Open the school’s Typing Agent link in its approved browser.
Check that the external keyboard is connected, if the activity requires one.
Tap the typing area before typing.
If keys repeat, respond slowly, or enter unexpected characters, ask school IT to check the iPad’s keyboard and input settings.

School technology staff
Check devices before students start
Check the current Typing Agent technical requirements with support. Update to the school-approved supported browser and operating system.
Test the school sign-in link and the sign-in provider your school uses.
With a test student, open an assigned course and complete an activity.
Check that the result saves and that the student can return home.

Students with teacher help
Fix apostrophes or keys that type the wrong character
Click or tap the typing activity so it has focus.
Compare the character on the screen with the character the keyboard enters.
Ask your teacher or school IT to check the keyboard language and layout. For an English US-keyboard activity, use the matching US keyboard layout.

If the problem continues, share the course, lesson, device, and a screenshot of the unexpected character.
For an English US-keyboard activity, check that the active input layout matches the lesson.
Helpful tip: The picture shows an older Chromebook settings layout. Your device’s menu may look different.
