Welcome to Scribo!
We are glad to be on this journey with you! Are you ready to bring Scribo into your classroom?
The following five key playbooks will provide an all-you-need crash course into your new Scribo classroom.

Setting up classes, students and teacher accounts
Creating your first writing activity for your students
Monitoring and managing student progress
Providing teacher feedback
1. Logging into Scribo
Here are the different ways you can log in:
Using your teacher email address and password.
Using Microsoft or Google if your school/college is integrated using Single Sign - On (SSO) - a quick login method that does not require the creation of another password.
Log into Scribo as a Teacher
When you log into your Scribo community for the first time, you are offered a tour around the system. The goal of the tour is to get your first writing activity underway, load your students and classes and get you 'write' into a new way of extending English writing skills.
The in-house tour takes you through 10 different step-by-step guides to get you acquainted with the platform. At any point you wish to leave the tour, click on the 'X' button.
Whenever you need, you can restart the tour from the 'Tour' button on the right side menu as shown in the image below.
2. Setting up classes, students and teacher accounts
Ever so often, teachers play the administrative role of setting up/archiving classes (even the special ones), adding/removing students and collaborating with fellow teachers by adding them into the school community.
If your classes, students and teachers are not already set up for you in your school community, you may refer to the following steps for help:
Sending invitations via email
Uploading a CSV file
Sync up with Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams
Set up classes and invite students via email
Import School Data from a CSV file
Teachers already using Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams in their classrooms can sign in via Google or Microsoft, then click on the 'Menu' on the side bar to sync.
