Step by step
Take the register
On your phone, open your class's register from My day, tap the learners who are not present, and save. Without a signal it waits on the phone.
Every learner starts as present. You tap only the ones who are not, then save. The register works the same on a phone at the classroom door and at a desk.
Not available yet
“Guardians of learners marked absent get a text. SMS is in test mode until an SMS provider is connected: messages are kept in the message log and not delivered to phones.”
Open the register from My day
Teachers start on My day when they sign in. Under Registers and roll calls, tap your class, such as Grade 7 East · Register · 16 learners. It says Take it until the register is taken, then Taken or how many are absent.
Check the count
The top line counts the marks, such as 15 present · 1 absent · 0 late · 0 excused. All present puts everyone back to present.
Tap the learners who are not present
Each tap moves a learner to the next mark: Absent, Late, Excused, then Present again. A learner out on a pass from the gate starts as excused.
Tap Save
Kila says Saved, such as “16 learners, 1 absent.” You can save again later in the day to change a mark.
At a desk the keyboard is quicker: ”↑ ↓ to move, P A L E to mark, S to save.”
Without a signal
Link to this section: Without a signalSave as usual. Kila says Kept on this phone: “It goes as soon as there is a connection.” My day and the register show how many are waiting to send, and they go by themselves when the phone is back online.
The register is not on My day
Link to this section: The register is not on My dayMy day lists the registers allocated to you: your class as its class teacher, or your lessons when the school takes the register every lesson. The deputy head allocates class teachers and lessons under Teaching › Timetable and academics. Teaching › Registers shows yours under Yours today; someone who runs academics sees Every register and may take any of them.
It says Read only
Link to this section: It says Read only“Read only: this register is kept by someone else.” The class teacher, the teachers of the class and those who run academics can change it.
