Get started as a teacher
Schackappen is a digital chess learning tool for children aged 6–12. Here's how to get going: create your account, create your class and share the class code — and your students are up and running. It only takes a few minutes.
1. Create your account
- Your principal invites you. You get an email ("Du är inbjuden!" / You're invited) — click the link. (No email? Check your junk folder, or ask your principal to send you the link directly.)
- Fill in your name, the same email address the invitation was sent to and a password. Click "Skapa konto" (Create account) — you're logged in right away.
- Done! You are connected to your school.
Tip: Do this in good time and try logging in before your first lesson, so everything is ready when the students arrive.
2. Create your class and students
- In the teacher portal (portal.schackappen.se) click "+ Skapa ny klass" (+ Create new class) and get a class code.
- Add your students (name + figure) — each student gets a personal PIN.
- Share the class code + PIN with the students.
- The student goes to skola.schackappen.se, enters the class code, selects their name in the list and enters their PIN — no email, no personal password.
A student lost their PIN?
No problem — you reset it yourself on the student's card in the portal. The student then logs in with the new PIN, and all statistics and progress remain.
