8. Our school only has one email address. How can multiple teachers at our school register for your projects?
Our registration system is based on the assumption that each individual will have a unique email address. Unfortunately you will need to coordinate within your school to use the same contact account amongst yourselves. You can do so by "generalizing" the information located in the contact information area. For example, under teacher contact name you might insert the school name with general school information instead of personal information. Also choose a school login and password instead of a personal login and password.
Apologies for the inconvenience this causes you on your end but in most circumstances the unique email address system is applicable.

We are particularly grateful to our corporate partners and our valued members for their support of GSN’s endeavors. Without you, our accomplishments would have been possible.

In addition to all the benefits of our free membership, Contributing Members will receive a special thank you gift. Best of all, you will be taking an active part in helping us to enrich learning for kids locally and globally. You can make a difference. Become a Contributing Member. Your donation will help us to continue to fulfill our mission, providing the absolute best in collaborative online learning activities, free of charge to educators and their students around the world. We can’t do it alone, but together with your help, we can make a difference in the lives of kids by helping them to harness the power of the Internet in powerful ways to prepare them for the future. In addition, if you want to become more involved in GSN and in our projects, we encourage you to become a volunteer. Share your love of the power of education by donating your time and expertise.

14. How can I register without using my personal password?
You can access most of our website without registering.
However, in order to actually participate in any of our projects and programs, you must set up a password-protected account. We encourage you to use a unique password for this site... not your usual secure password.
For several of our projects, we only request your name and zip code.
However, when you register to have your students interact with other students in a project, we require complete school address and contact information and often your home contact information as well. This is for the protection of all participants... we want to know who is interacting with other teachers. Since a member of our staff reviews every registration, this helps us to ascertain the registrant's authenticity.
We NEVER share, reveal, or otherwise use this information other than to identify you to communicate with you about the project for which you register and, on occasion, to email you information about our programs which you may find useful.
