Student Instructions - Amazon WorkSpaces

You will be given access to an Amazon WorkSpaces virtual desktop environment for this course. Your Amazon WorkSpaces access will be given through an email sent to your student Gmail account. This virtual desktop is essentially a Windows-based virtual computer that we have preloaded with the necessary files and software you need for your course.

Register and Launch the WorkSpaces Client
Enter the registration code received in your Amazon WorkSpaces email then click the Register button. Enter SLiad+P56KKP for the registration code if prompted.

Choose the appropriate WorkSpaces Client to download. We recommend using the Web Access client which will use your current internet browser session to launch WorkSpaces. Begin by clicking the Launch button under Web Access.

Note: If you are getting a black screen when using the Web Access client, try downloading and using the Chrome Extension instead.
If you have any problems signing in to Amazon WorkSpaces, please contact the Launch office at 417-523-0417, or send a message to HELP through Canvas.
The Amazon WorkSpaces Client will take some time to launch and you may need to wait a few minutes for the virtual desktop environment to start up or resume from a previous session.
Navigating the Virtual Environment
To access software, click the Start Menu in the bottom left corner. Please note that our Amazon WorkSpaces activity is monitored so please adhere to district policies when using these devices.

Web Content Filtering
Launch uses a web content filter called Securely. The first time you access the internet on your Amazon WorkSpace you may be prompted to log in through Securely. Click the Login with Google button.

Log in by entering your ID#@sps.org and password then clicking the Next button.
