Getting started
At its-myworld your students can create their own web pages, take part in online projects, communicate with other students of English, and explore the web. If you're a subscriber to iT's for Teachers magazine or the its-online Internet sites then all your students have free access to the site. If you aren't already a subscriber, click here to find out how to take out a teacher's subscription.
In order for your students to access the sites, you first need to create your own page at its-myworld. To create your page, follow these three steps.
- Go to the its-myworld site by clicking on the tab at the top of this page or by going to www.its-myworld.com. If you aren't already logged in, enter your subscriber ID and password.
- Select 'Edit your address' from the menu on the left and follow the instructions to create an address for your its-myworld homepage. Your students will need to enter your address when they register at the site for the first time.
- Select 'Edit welcome page' from the menu on the left and enter some information about yourself. You can enter as much or as little information as you want. When you've finished, choose 'Save and view' at the bottom of the page.
That's it! You can now use the site with your students. Before you do, we suggest you look through the different sections in this guide and try some of the activities using the its-myworld page that you have just created.
