 The first time you login, you'll need three things: Your media specialist has these for you or contact Mary Frazier. Please add this information to your Education City card that is on your set of Keys. Once you enter this information, it will be saved and when you login to Education City you'll be automatically logged into your school account. You should keep all three codes handy. When you're in the teacher feature you will be asked to enter your Feature Password. I keep mine in my address book in a category called Passwords. I copy the feature password then paste it when it is required which saves from typing errors.
