Once you've set up a group login page (see our tutorial on that) you can set up the tablets and computers you'd like the children to access the login page from. You can set up as many as you like, and in fact, you will need to set up several if you'd like multiple children to be logging in at the same time. There are 4 ways of enabling a group login page, so within this tutorial, I will go through each of them in their own section. You can also use the links below to jump to a specific section. 1) On a computer you're already logged into 2) Using the camera on the device you'd like to set up to scan a QR code 3) Using a web address link you've sent to the d…

In this tutorial we're going to look choosing a password policy when setting passwords for children and deciding on the visibility of the passwords when children login. First, let's look at the different password policy options.

There are seven different options you can choose from (see below), ranging from trivial to stronger. We do recommend considering these options and what the consequences of each of them carefully.

Once the Child Login has been enabled (see how to do that our Enabling Child Login tutorial), you can start setting up groups of children to use it. The first thing you'll need to do, is go to the 'Child Login' page. You only need to set up one login page for each group of children, even if they have lots of different teachers. As long as you're a manager, or you have permission to see the pages set up by your colleagues, you can check what's already been made by clicking on 'Show class or group log in pages set up by your colleagues'. Please note this section will not appear if you and your colleagues have not yet set up any login page…

The Child Login feature can be used to allow children at your setting to view observations and activities they have been attached to, leave comments, and upload their own posts about their learning. Each child will have their own password and can be set up to access Tapestry whilst at school and at home. Note: Before you start using Child Login you should think about how you're intending it to be used and update any policies you have which might be affected. For example, take a look at the user permissions for your account to see whether children and relatives are allowed to comment on group observations. If they are, are you happy with that still, and do you need to dis…

The Child Login on Tapestry allows children to log into their own Tapestry account to view and respond to observations and activities set by their teachers. To allow your child to log in at home, you will firstly need to log into your account from the browser version of Tapestry (tapestryjournal.com). Then click on the 'Child Login' (1) option on the blue bar at the top of the screen. On the next page, click on the 'Log out and switch to child' (2) button. If you have any trouble accessing your child's account, or the child login option isn't available, you will need to contact the school, as they may need to adjust their user permissions to allow access. …
