Your district has elected to use Single Sign-On (SSO) services for Gizmos. This means you will login to Gizmos through your school’s launchpad or portal, where you will click on the Gizmos icon to login automatically.
Accessing Gizmos through your school’s launchpad or portal is the most reliable and convenient way to login.



The first time you login through your school’s portal or launchpad, you will go through a one-time registration process to connect your school account to a Gizmos account.
Once you have connected your school account to Gizmos, you will go directly to your 'My Homepage' in Gizmos.

This article will cover two different registration scenarios:

  1. Linking an Existing Gizmos Teacher Account

  2. Registering as a New Gizmos Teacher

Linking an Existing Gizmos Teacher Account

On the ExploreLearning linking page, enter your Gizmos credentials and select Login.


Registering as a New Gizmos Teacher

If you do not have a Gizmos teacher account, select Register a New Account on the ExploreLearning linking page.


All new Gizmos Teacher Accounts require a Registration Key to complete the User Registration Form, shown below. Registration Keys are an alphanumeric code that are unique to your school and subscription for authentication purposes.
If you have not received a Registration Key, please contact your department chair, principal or administrator.


Fill out the initial User Registration Form, including creating a Gizmos username and password. Your credentials will allow you to access Gizmos from outside of your school portal as a secondary method.

Select Next to progress to the second User Registration Screen.

Choose the subjects, grades and topics you teach to complete your Gizmos profile, then select Submit.

Please create your classes before assisting your students with SSO setup. Gizmos student accounts require a teacher-provided class code to gain access to Gizmos.
