New Student Status on gradebook

Due to the teachers' requests, the new students added to your class will automatically show up at the bottom of your roster.  :)

You'll notice their cell is green, for highlighting purposes.  To remove this "new" status and let them sort alphabetically in your list, just Right Click on the cell, and "Remove New Status".

This is your choice.  You can keep it how it is, or sort it how you like.

Here's a 45 second video if you need assistance.

Thanks.

Smart Response without a Projector

Did you know your students can use Smart Response devices without the projector?  You can print out your assessments and your students can enter their answers into their devices, right from the paper.

One downside about using the projector is you can only display one question at a time from Smart Response.  This "printed" method lets the students complete the assessment/quiz/test on their own schedule.

 

Here's a 2 minute video:
