Welcome to Shmoop! (for Students...)

00:02

Hi, I'm David Siminoff, founder of Shmoop. Welcome, students!

00:07

We're psyched that you have decided to Shmoop with us.

00:12

Get ready to improve your test scores, expand your understanding of classroom material,

00:17

and take some of that stress off your shoulders. The first thing you'll want to do is log-in.

00:23

Otherwise, all you'll be able to do is look at the pretty pictures on our homepage.

00:28

There's no need to use your "Magic Word" again until renewal time, and you no longer

00:34

have to visit the sign-up URL. For now, you can just go to www-dot-shmoop-dot-com,

00:40

click "Log In", and type in your username and password when the pop-up box appears.

00:44

Shmoop is available to you anytime, anyplace. Add it to your faves!

00:51

Use it at home, on your Smartphone, your Ipad, or any other new-fangled mobile device.

01:01

You can click on "My Passes" to view all of your Shmoop goodies.

01:04

And if there's one that you want and don't have, you can purchase it. Or... your parents

01:09

can purchase it. You know where they keep their credit cards.

01:13

The "My Profile" section allows you join your teacher's online classroom. The downside?

01:20

It's nearly impossible to hit her in the back of the head with a spitball.

01:25

If you ever get lost on the site, don't panic.

01:28

You can simply click on the "Shmoop" logo on the upper left hand side of your screen

01:32

and it will whisk you straight back to the main page.

01:36

The Shmoopsterpiece Theater is constantly growing and will be your source for video

01:41

tutorials. You know -- for when you get tired of looking

01:46

at funny pictures of cats. Don't forget to keep tabs on your Shmoints

01:48

and see how you're doing on the leaderboard. Hopefully you won't drop dramatically like

01:53

Tiger on Day 4 of a major. And you can share your test prep progress

01:58

with your parents. We're sure they'll be very proud to see how you're improving.

02:02

The gang at Shmoop is always adding new content. You can follow us on Facebook and

02:08

Twitter to hear the latest and greatest additions to the site.

02:12

You can also contact us at support@shmoop.com with any questions about your account.

02:17

We have operators standing by. Well, most of them are sitting. But either way, they'll

02:20

get back to you. Again, welcome. We look forward to meeting

02:21

all of your Shmoopy needs.

02:22

YouTube blurb: Now that you've decided to let Shmoop into

02:24

your heart and home (don't worry, we didn't have a key made), how exactly do you maneuver

02:27

around this crazy site? We got your answers... right hea'...
