Logging into Glow

 

How to Log In to Glow! Go Full Screen to see in greater detail?

Glow is very secure and only you can access your pages.

This means that your username and password is a little different from that you use to access the school network. So don't get confused.

Watch the movie which show how to log into Glow, but make sure you read the information below before logging in.

This is very important, because you are only allowed two mistakes when logging in. After this you and any person trying to guess your password is locked out.

 

 

 

About your User Name and password!

1. Your USERNAME is slightly different from the one used at school. It is made up 4 parts.
   1. gw short for Glow.
   2. 09 or the year you first started at Johnstone High school
   3. Your full name begriming with your second name first and then your first name.
   4. A digit 1 or 2, possibly 3 at the very end, depending on how many others there are with the same name. - check with your teacher.

So as an example the Glow username for Joe Bloggs who came to Johnstone in 2009 would be:

• gw09BloggsJoe1 - notice its all one word.

 

2. Your PASSWORD has to include:
   1. A minimum of eight characters.
   2. A space and
   3. A number

1. Use the same password you use to log onto the School Network and add a space and a zero at the end.
2. If your password is less than 8 characters, make it up to 8 with spaces, so as an example:
   • if your usual password is rat then it becomes rat      0 : the underline is just used to show the empty spaces.
3. MAKE SURE YOUR TEACHER HAS A COPY OF YOUR PASSWORD!
4. To change your password go to Logging Into Glow for more information.
