Hello  @yvettealzamora !

You'll be able to add another student to your already-existing Canvas Observer account which you use in the browser and in Canvas Parent.

Before you begin, make sure you have your students' pairing codes. Then, from a browser (not the app at this time!), sign in to your account. Then click Account, then Settings, then Observing. On this screen, you'll see a +Student button. Just above that button, there will be a space in which you can enter your pairing code. Once a student's account is linked to yours, their name will be added to the list under "Observing". (How do I link a student to my user account as an observer?‌)

If you have other questions about the Observer role, I wrote about the role and collected some tips in a blog. I hope it's helpful! Clarity for Canvas Observers‌

Hi. I tried the steps described using a browser. It does not work. Once I add my second child, I am suddenly logged in as that child. Then I can't get back to my account and see both my kids in my observer list. When I log out and back in under my account, I do not see the new child I added. This really should be easier to manage.
