No subscription is necessary. You have three choices:
You are free to use Schoolshape French, German, Spanish and ESL resources on your electronic whiteboard without creating an account.
If you wish students to see the answers to questions and hand in their work to you, they must sign in. This discourages cheating! For security reasons, you should first register your school, then create accounts for your students.
If you wish students to record their own audio and video, and use other language lab features, your school should take out a subscription. Language lab prices.
