As a registered Contributor to NJ TU Trout-in-the-Classroom’s 2006-7 web journal, you’re authorized to login to our behind-the-scenes publishing system and use the simple editorial tools we provide. We call these special screens the TIC Dashboard. This article describes the procedure to login using credentials you were provided when we inaugurated the 2006-7 program.
Step One: Link to Site Admin Section
Logging in using your Username and password is easy. At the bottom of the righthand navigation column on most TIC pages, you’ll find a heading called "Site Management". Click the link labeled Site Admin, as shown in the illustration.
That link brings up a page where you can enter your Username and Password in a panel entitled "NJ TIC Notebook".
Step Two: Enter your personal Username & Password
Type your Username exactly as it was provided. Usually, this means using all lowercase characters with no spaces or punctuation. You’ll notice that, as you type your password, the characters are obscured. This is a standard security precaution to protect you from inadvertent disclosure of your password.
You also have the option to click the box that says "Remember me". If your web browser permits external sites to write cookie files on your computer, TIC Journal will record your login information in a browser cookie and supply it automatically the next time you click our Site Admin link.
Security Warning
This is a great convenience, but be aware that it introduces the possibility that someone unauthorized can interfere with your TIC reports. If other people (including students!) use the same computer account, we recommend typing your username and password each time you use the editorial Dashboard system. Press the button labeled "Login >>" and you will be taken to the full TIC Dashboard. The login panel is illustrated above.
