Canvas Login Info

  • The easiest way for students to login at home is by using the Google Chrome Browser. There are two options for students to use either a guest Chrome account or their school account within Google Chrome. 

    OPTION 1:

    OPTION 2:

    A screen shows a list of profiles with an 'Add' button highlighted.

     

    A screen prompts the user to set up a new Chrome profile and sign in.

  • Once students are either using a guest window or their own Chrome account…

    FIRST: Make sure you are using Google Chrome! 

    Option #1: Go to bitly link (this uses what is called Single-Sign On so it uses your Spectrum Academy email credentials to login). You need to type in the WHOLE URL for it to work (do not use Google Suggestions).
     

    Option #2: Within your Spectrum Academy student email do this:

    Option #3: Go to login option and it will use Single-Sign on to log you in. (Again, this means it uses your Spectrum Academy email credentials to log you into Canvas - you do not have to remember another password!) 

  • There are two ways to become an observer on Canvas. 

    Option #1: You can get a pairing code by having your student log in to their account.

    A pop-up window displays a pairing code for connecting with an observer, with instructions and an 'OK' button.

     

    Option #2: You can fill out this form and I will send you a pairing code. If you have multiple students you would like pairing codes for, please fill out a form for each student. 

     

    NEXT: Once you have a pairing code, you will need to set up an Observer account in Canvas. Here’s how…
