Quicklinks: Read Around the Planet website and CAPspace login.

As you are getting ready for Read Around the Planet, you’re probably starting to think about teacher registration. The big question is: do your teachers need to login to Collaborations Around the Planet (also known as CAPspace)?

If teachers do own registration
If your teachers do their own registration, then yes, they should have an account in the system. For them to be able to register, they will need to be attached to verified equipment. Go to Admin, My Equipment, Attach End Users to connect your teachers to the videoconference system they will use for Read Around the Planet.

If you register for teachers
By far, most of you do registration for your teachers. If this is the case, there is no need to have the teachers login.

Teachers in the system from last year: The My People tool under Admin is intended to organize the support structure for people who have accounts in the system. If you have teachers who participated last year, you can collect them under My People. But they don’t necessarily need to login.

New teachers: If you register for your teachers, new teachers do not need an account and they will not show up in My People. You will register for them and the registration will be in your name with their contact information attached to their particular match request. This way you can still do the registration and the teachers will still have each other’s email and phone to communicate about their project. The teachers should talk to each other with phone or email after they are matched, just like before.

Collaborations Around the Planet directory
The directory side of CAPspace is intended to increase the usability of the data entered for RAP, but certainly isn’t essential to the RAP process.
