Start a Subscription or a Free Trial

Before using any of the EdAlive Web Apps teachers must first create a Teacher Account and then link it to the School they teach at. This process can be instigated from any of the EdAlive Web Apps or from EdAlive Central. The creation of Teacher Accounts and School linking takes place in EdAlive Central. Following are some of the ways you can get started:

Method 1 - Start a Free Trial

Go to the home page of any of the EdAlive Web Apps such as Typing Tournament Online or Maths Invaders Online and click on the Free 30 Day Trial button or go to central.edalive.com/go.

Enter your details

1. Enter your Title, First Name, Last Name and select your Country.
2. Enter an Email Address that you use in relation to your work as a teacher.
3. Enter a password that is at least 6 characters long.
4. Press the Continue button.
