Additionally, it includes specific tools for education, such as access controls for classes and native collaborative features. This guide details the registration process based on the page https://thewonder.cloud/en/register/educational, adapting concepts from the family plan to the school context.

The Wonder is designed for simplicity and accessibility, serving as a friendly alternative to complex services like AWS or Google Cloud, especially for the educational sector. Its benefits for schools and users include:
- Sharing Educational Resources: One contract covers an unlimited number of profiles, allowing teachers, students and administrators to access the same environment, reducing costs for institutions.

- Flexibility for Learning: Access via Chrome browser on PCs, tablets and smartphones (iOS/Android), facilitating remote and hybrid teaching.
- Unlimited Space: MYDOCS for storing teaching materials and emails with unlimited capacity for school communications.
- Integrated VoIP Telephony: Unlimited calls to landlines and cell phones, useful for educational conferences or contact with parents, with a dedicated number for the institution.
- 24/7 Support: Dedicated assistance for setting up educational accounts, including profiles for students and support for native educational tools.
- Additional Educational Tools: Access to pre-installed educational software, such as video editors for school projects and digital libraries, in addition to integrated collaborative solutions.
Prerequisites:
- Stable internet connection (minimum 10 Mbps) for online classes without interruptions.
- Updated Chrome browser for compatibility with the cloud desktop.
- Phone number for identity verification.
- Promotional voucher or educational code (required, provided by school or partner).
- Minimum age of 18 for the responsible person (teacher or administrator); minors need authorization.
- Association with an educational institution, such as school or university, for validation.
The registration process takes about 5-10 minutes, depending on school verification. Let's go to the steps.
Step 1: Accessing the Educational Registration Page
Open Chrome browser and access https://thewonder.cloud/en/register/educational. The English URL ensures clear instructions adapted to the local audience. The page displays the title "Create your educational account" and "Continue to your school..." (to proceed with the institution). This indicates that registration is linked to a school, facilitating collective integration.
Tip: If you are a teacher or administrator, use a desktop for greater comfort during filling. The page is responsive for mobile devices via Chrome. If it doesn't load, clear the cache or try incognito mode. If the "Contact my school" option appears, click to request assistance from the institution before proceeding.
Step 2: Filling in Identification and School Association Fields
Start by selecting "Continue to your school..." to link registration to your institution. In the Name* field, enter the educational responsible's name, such as "Maria". Avoid accents for initial compatibility, although the system supports them. In Last Name*, type, for example, "Oliveira". This data will be used to identify the main profile and in invitations for students or colleagues.
In the Email* field, choose an address with the @school.edu suffix, such as "[email protected]". This personalized email serves as the main login, for educational communications and integration with teaching tools. A verification code will be sent to this address. Make sure it's unique and related to the school for easier management.
Then associate the account with the school. On the page you enter a school code. This validates if the school is a Wonder partner, unlocking exclusive educational benefits.
Security tip: Note the email and school code to avoid problems. The system verifies if the email is already in use, ensuring uniqueness in shared educational environments.
Step 3: Inserting Voucher, Contact and Educational Details
The Voucher* or educational code field is mandatory, such as "EDUCA2025", provided by the school, ministry of education or partners. Without it, the form doesn't advance, as it validates access to the educational plan, which may include discounts or free resources for public institutions.
In Phone*, enter the number in the format "+1 555 999-9999", including the country code. It's used for two-factor authentication (2FA), class notifications and educational VoIP calls. For school accounts, the main responsible's phone is recommended.
In the Recovery email*, provide a secondary external email, such as "[email protected]", for password reset. This is essential in educational environments, where multiple users share the account, ensuring quick recovery without interruptions in activities.
Practical tip: Use the responsible's phone and email to centralize notifications and recovery via administrator to streamline processes.
Step 4: Setting up Password, Workspace and Terms
In Password*, create a strong password (minimum 14 characters, with uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols, ex: "Educa@Wonder2025!"). The Wonder reinforces security with strict rules, and the Psono password manager is available to store complex credentials.
In Confirm*, retype the password carefully to avoid common errors, such as Caps Lock activated.
The Enable Remote Desktop option is enabled by default, providing access to the cloud desktop with educational tools. The responsible can uncheck it if they want to only manage student profiles without personal use, maintaining monitoring controls for compliance with educational standards.
Check the Terms and Conditions checkbox to accept the terms. Read the document (link in footer) about privacy, use of unlimited resources, cancellation (30-day warranty) and compliance with GDPR and COPPA for minor profiles. In educational contexts, there's emphasis on student data protection.
Legal tip: Review monitoring rules for students, especially if the responsible chooses not to use the desktop, ensuring adequate pedagogical supervision.
Step 5: Selecting Country, Educational Entity and Submitting the Form
After filling in the initial fields, select the Country of your institution (ex.: United States) and the Educational Entity to which you or the student belongs, from a list of Wonder partner schools. If the institution is listed, you'll be automatically redirected to the school's specific form, where you can complete registration with additional details requested by the institution.
If the educational entity is not on the list, select the "My school is not listed" option (or similar). This will open additional fields to provide information such as the full name of the institution, address and contact (school email or phone). This data allows The Wonder team to contact to register the institution as a partner, unlocking the educational plan. After submitting this information, you'll receive a confirmation email at the @thewonder.email address with an activation link or additional instructions to proceed.
After approval (either by the school or by The Wonder team), access the educational dashboard. In the "Manage Users" menu, add profiles for students, with @thewonder.email or @school.edu emails. Each receives an invitation to create their own password, with no profile limit. The holder manages accounts, applies educational controls and uses native collaborative tools.
Tip: If the school is not yet a partner, send the information in advance to speed up institutional registration.
