To print QR Code Log-in Cards, click the "Print log-ins" button on the Classroom Page or the Students Page.

Students can log in to their Boddle account by holding a unique QR code up to the camera on their device. The QR code is tied to each students individual username and password, and will automatically log them into their account.

Printing Student Log-in Cards

You can print students' QR cards by clicking on the blue "Print log-ins" button on your Classroom or Students page. In the pop-up, select "Download Student Cards" to download and print the QR cards!

A student's QR code will remain the same even if their username and password are changed. It will not need to be reprinted each time.

Signing in with QR Cards

Once students have their unique QR card, they can sign in with it on the Boddle homepage. Click "QR Code Log-In" to open the QR Code Scanner.
​

The first time students log in, they will need to allow camera access by clicking the green "Allow" button or by following the on-screen instructions.

Students will then hold their QR code up to the camera on their device. The square QR code should fit into the square box in the scanner. Once they've scanned the QR code, students will be logged into their account and taken to the game.

Allowing Camera Access

If students are unable to allow camera access through the Boddle website, they can do so in their browser settings. On a computer, click on the lock symbol in the address bar, and click on "Site settings." Then, change the camera access to "Allow."

On an iPad, navigate to the settings and scroll down to Privacy. Click on "Camera" and then locate the Boddle app and ensure permissions are turned on.

Logging in with Clever Badges

If students use a Clever Badge to sign into Boddle, our scanner will not recognize it. Students will need to click the "Sign in with Clever" button and scan their Badge on the Clever page.
