Steps to Login into Mackin
Directions below explain the steps to access MackinVIA's administrative side. If possible, please do this prior to the MackinVIA Admin Support session.

- If it asks you to update login information
- Next click on Shop Mackin>My Account> MackinVIA
- If you are the TL at more than one school, then you will use the SELECT VIA dropdown to select the school that you want to work in.
To activate the Promotions go to the top gray bar and select the promotions that you wish to activate which are multi-user titles that will populate in your accounts through September 30, 2020 and on that date they will unpopulate, but you will still have the hundreds of titles and databases that the AEA and possibly your school or district have purchased.

Virtual Professional Learning Opportunities
As you prepare to navigate the world of online learning, Mississippi Bend AEA has created virtual learning sessions to support educators. Each week we will offer new learning that is relevant and timely.
MBAEA Virtual Professional Learning Options 2020 lists the session topic, dates and times of the virtual learning or networking and shows the recorded webinars from previous weeks. The registration link is included in this document as well. Once registered, a confirmation email will be sent. The confirmation email will contain the link to access the learning.
If there are future topics you would like us to consider offering, please let me know! We are more than willing to adjust based on the need of educators.
Scout training is on April 21st, 2:00-3:00.
Statewide AEA Online Database Professional Learning Options
Media consultants throughout the state are also offering professional development centered around the AEA State Database Professional Learning.
