2. Suggestions Assign students #'s that correspond to their pods Students can sign in themselves, it will save time and it is easy. You should sign students in. Under nickname put their pod # then tab down to age and put the average age of class, then tab and hit enter. Takes too much time

3. Suggestions Give yourself and your class 2 days of practice. Give them practice trouble-shooting before you start holding them accountable

8. Problems Crowding around the pods Be sure cart is in a clear area so students can approach from all directions No connection and you are ready to start After practice days student grade will start at 7 or 8 pts. Grade then becomes subjective. If they show hard work they can earn full 10 pts.
