Students can also be added manually by clicking on the Add button

SMART Response: Manually Entering Students

Students can be deleted by selecting the student from the list and clicking the Delete button

NOTE: Students log into the SMART Response clicker using a Student ID number.

This is NOT their MPS Tech ID! The ID field ONLY takes numbers.

The Infinite Campus extract pulls their MPS Student I.D. number (ex. 78903). You can change this to a class number to make it easier for students to remember.

*This number MUST be unique to the Student!

NOTE: There is a “Glitch in the Matrix”. Once you get the extract from I.C., you will need to open it in Excel and add spaces in the headers.

It’s a disconnect between what I.C. can do and what SMART Response requires. See next slide….
