For Teachers

Welcome to Forecast Central! Here are the main steps to allow one or more of your classes participate in the forecasting contest:

  1. Submit a registration request (for one class at a time). Check that all the
    information is correct.
  2. You should receive an e-mail (probably the next day), letting you know that your class is registered, and giving you a list of usernames for the students. You should probably print this list, so that you can help students who forget their usernames, etc.
  3. The students should log in with the starter password you picked, and immediately change to their own personal passwords (by clicking on "My account" in the left sidebar).
  4. Select the appropriate location in the "Forecasting Sites" menu at the top of the page, and begin forecasting!
  5. Keep track of participation by checking the Class Summaries. On that page, you can click on each student's name and see a list of the forecasts they've submitted.
  6. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
