Online Registration Tips for Teachers

In response to many of your requests we have made the following improvements to the Online Registration process to make it more user friendly and convenient. Click here to Download a PDF with detailed Online Registration Instructions.

  • When you first go to register online you will asked to enter your email address as your User ID and be given a password. This will enable you to log in at any time between Jan. 2 and Feb. 5 where you can see all of your entries, add new entries, edit or delete entries, etc.
  • You now have the option of printing entry forms, Exhibit ID labels, or both for all of your entries or just the couple that you need.
  • If you purchase the Avery 8161 stickyback labels, you can print the Exhibit ID labels for all of your exhibits on these labels making it easier to attach them to the Exhibits.
  • We have created a separate Teacher Information form so that your personal information no longer appears on all of the individual exhibit entry forms. This protects your privacy and means you now only have to sign this one Teacher Information form instead of all of the exhibit entry forms.

Here are some suggestions for making entering large quantities of Exhibits a little easier.

  • Don’t try and enter all of your exhibits in one sitting. Break them up into smaller groups and enter a few at a time.
  • Don’t print the entry form & labels after each entry. Wait until you are done entering all of your exhibits and then you can print all of your entry forms and labels at once to save time.
  • Purchase Avery stickyback 8161 labels and print all your Exhibit ID labels at once.
  • Take your class to the school library and have them each type in their own entry. First, make sure you haven’t filled in any personal information in the User Preferences because the students will be able to see that information. Then you, the Teacher, will need to Log in to the computers for them. But once you are logged in they can enter their exhibit themselves. Make sure you change your password afterwards so a student can’t log in and tamper with your entries. When everyone is finished, Log In and review the entries to make sure they were entered correctly.
