Once you have set up your school, you will be able to transfer administrator status to another individual if necessary.
Payment: Finally, you will be asked to complete the payment process. Details on the various payment options are available below.

  1. Sign up with TIG: First, you must become a TIG member. If you are already a TIG member, you will be asked to login to the site and will move on to Step 2. If not, you will be asked to complete the simple registration process for TakingITGlobal.org.

  2. Search schools: The second step involves finding your school in our database of schools. If your school has already been set up with TIGed, you will skip to Step 4. If not, you can set it up!

  3. Create a school or register: Here, you'll be asked for some basic information about your school.

    You will also set up some basic preferences, including the screen name you will use when interacting with students.

  4. Payment: It's free to create a Thematic Classroom, so you will skip past this step. If you wish to use TIGed beyond your free Thematic Classroom later, you can contact us to upgrade your account.

Student Registration
Will my students have to follow all these steps?
No. When you create a TIGed virtual classroom, you will be given a link to a student signup page. Here, all your students will need to enter is the classroom signup code (which you provide), and some basic information. For information on how TIGed protects student privacy, please visit our FAQ.
