Choose Your Path

Scribble works the same way for every student on iPad, but how adults set up access depends on who you are.

Families

You're a parent or guardian setting up Scribble for one or more children at home.

• Sign-in: One email address per family. You sign in with a one-time code (OTP) sent to that email.
• Profiles: One profile per child, each with their own learning state.
• Billing: $1,000 for the first student profile, $500 for each additional profile in the same family.
• Where you manage things: The web dashboard, for adding profiles and viewing reports. Daily practice happens on iPad.

Schools (non-Alpha)

You're a teacher or administrator at a school that is not part of Alpha. Your students will sign into Scribble with their own email address.

• Sign-in: Each student has their own email. They sign in on iPad with a one-time code (OTP) sent to that email.
• Profiles: Student profiles are created and managed by staff on the web dashboard.
• Billing: School plans, contact us for pricing.
• Where you manage things: The web dashboard, for student profiles, member access, and reports.

Alpha schools

You're at an Alpha-network school. Students sign in with Timeback SSO.

• Sign-in: Students enter their Timeback email, then continue through Google SSO. There is no OTP step.
• Profiles: Rosters sync from Timeback automatically. Staff don't create student profiles by hand.
• Billing: Handled at the school level through Alpha.
• Where you manage things: The web dashboard, for linkage status and reports only — not roster creation.
