Give access to students
From your dashboard, click MANAGE AND VIEW CLASSES to see the list of classes you’ve created.
Give access to the activity through the pre-made login cards. Students can login with the username and password on each card. If this is not possible for you, then give students the unique registration URL where they can sign up with an email address.
Go to your Dashboard. You will find a link to your Chat under ‘Chat Bookings’
A moderator will have set the live Chat up for you. Only students in your class can access your booked Chat.
If you have any issues call us ASAP on 01225 326 892

Transcript
After your live Chat, you can use your teacher account to download a copy of the transcript. Don’t worry if you close the Chat window – you will also be emailed a link to the transcript at the end of the day.
Multiple interventions
I’m a Medic is suitable for students aged 10 to 18. Studies show that engaging with an activity over multiple interventions is shown to increase students’ aspirations as well as increase the chance of them meeting multiple outcomes at a deeper level.
Student participation certificate
Students are able to download and print their own certificate from their dashboard. However, if you’d rather download the student participation certificate template yourself you can do so here: Download the Participation Certificate ❯
