Quicklinks: Read Around the Planet website and CAPspace login.
One source of potential confusion for Read Around the Planet is the number of requests and times. Here’s a few simple rules:
- One request per match that you need. I.e. If a teacher needs two classes to participate and therefore needs two partners, there should be two requests in the system.
- Choosing multiple times is best. If at all possible, enter as many times as possible that the teacher can do. This decreases your chances of ending up in the “leftover” pile.
The computer matches the registrations based on the following criteria:
- IP in/out or ISDN in/out (verification lays the foundation for this)
- Grade level – same level or one level up or one level down
- Subject/language matches exactly
- Times you choose (in your time zone!)
- Location: we do the best we can to get you an out-of-state partner
- Endpoints: One event scheduled at a time for an endpoint
- MCUs: Number of events scheduled at one time is based on the limitations entered for the MCU
Don’t forget! Canceling means disappointed teachers and kids. So do your utmost not to cancel after January 16.
