Teacher guide
Everything step by step: from opening a class to your students' first sign-in, progress tracking and live lessons.
Apply as a teacher
First sign in with your own account (or sign up for free). Then:
- Pick your school from the list (or add it with its name and city).
- Enter your official e-mail (@meb.gov.tr or @meb.k12.tr) and type the 6-digit code we send there.
- No official e-mail? Upload your staff document instead.
- We review and approve your application (usually within 1–2 working days). Once approved, a green ✓ Verified Teacher badge appears next to your name.
Open a class
Direct link: xsatranc.com/siniflar
Name the class (e.g. 3-C) and press “Open class”. Every class gets a 6-character join code:
Add your students
There are two ways. For most schools the first is the easiest:
① Create accounts with school numbers (recommended)
In the class box, type the numbers into School numbers:
- A range:
455-480 - One by one:
455, 461, 470 - Both:
455-470, 501
Optionally add a nickname (e.g. Lion); students appear as “Lion 455”. No real names needed. Then press Create accounts.
② Students with their own account
The student signs in, opens Classes and types the class code (or opens xsatranc.com/siniflar?kod=766EPG). The request comes to you; press Approve and the student joins your class.
How is the username made?
Your school code (shown above your class) + the student's school number. All teachers of a school share the same code; a number that already has an account is not created again, it is just added to your class.
Print and hand out the login cards
When the accounts are created, a login card appears for each student:
rhqc455••••••••How do students sign in?
- Opens xsatranc.com/giris on a computer or phone (or taps “Sign in” in the XSatranç app).
- Types the username from the card in the “E-mail or username” box (e.g.
rhqc455). - Types the password from the card and presses “Sign in”.
- Go to xsatranc.com/giris (or open the XSatranç app).
- Type your username and password exactly as on the card.
- Do lessons in Learn, solve the daily puzzle in Puzzles, and play your classmates.
- If you forget your password, tell your teacher.
Track progress, reset passwords, delete accounts
On the My classes page, each class shows its student list:
- Blitz — online rating
- Lessons — lessons completed (out of 110)
- Puzzles — puzzles solved and puzzle rating
- Games (7 days) — games in the last week
- Last seen — when they last signed in
Next to each student:
- Reset password — the new password appears right away; the old one stops working.
- Remove from class — removes the student from the class; the account stays.
- Delete account — permanently deletes an account you created and its progress (asks for confirmation).
At the bottom of the page, Student accounts you created lists all your students with their usernames.
Give a live lesson
- In the 🔴 Live lesson part of your class, type the topic (e.g. “Forks”), choose the date and time and press Schedule and notify students. Students get a notification and a reminder 10 minutes before.
- At lesson time press Start lesson (or Start now to begin immediately). Students get a “lesson started” notification.
- Move pieces on the board, draw arrows with “Draw arrows”, set any position with “Set position”. Students watch the board live.
- Ask with Your turn!: students suggest a move, you see who suggested what; tap the correct move to reveal it to everyone.
- Students who raise their hand show a ✋. When you're done, press “End lesson”; the summary (who joined, how many each got right) is ready.
