| Student Area |
| We invite your teenaged AmblesideOnline students (age 13 to 19) to come join the student area of this forum. Only teens will be able to participate in everything there; parents of teens will have read-only access to the general chat and will be able to post only in the parent/teen discussion area. Moderators of the teen area, admins, and Advisory and Auxiliary can read and post there but usually do not post.
All teens also have access to the Tech Support area of the forum. We're really trying to keep it safe and private for them, so we ask that you would follow these steps to get them in. Your student must be at least 13 to participate because of legalities with children and the internet. 1. Send an email to aoforum@amblesideonline.org with your username, your teen's birthdate, your teen's desired username and your teen's email address. The teen's email address can be the same as yours or different. 2. Wait for an email with a temporary password, sent to the address you used to email us. He/she should reset that password to something personal and memorable and then join the fun! Once they have turned 18, AO Students can participate in the AO Alumni area of the forum as well as the main part of the forum. They can contact us at aoforum@amblesideonline.org to request a transfer to that area if they are already members of the teen area. AO graduates who are just joining the forum for the first time can tell us their status in their join request. AO Alumni have access to private messages and email through the forum interface. When teens turn 20, they lose access to the AO Student forum. They will be AO Alumni and members of the forum just like any other adult. We try to make that change soon after their 20th birthday, but it can sometimes take a bit longer. |
