26 | CHAPTER 4 – MANAGING CLASS LISTS
7. Type a unique number between 1 and 15 digits in the Student ID box.
NOTES
You must type a unique valid ID into the Student ID box.
You can type a student’s name in the Name boxes. The student’s e-mail
address and Tags are optional. You can also type name and ID
information directly into the table fields.
Use tags to categorize the students into custom groupings that SMART
Response uses when you create student reports.
The student information saves to the class list as you enter it.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each new student.
Tagging Students
Use tags to identify groups or categories of students. SMART Response uses the tags
to sort student results when you generate Class Performance reports. For example,
you can assign the tags “Senior” and “Junior” to the students, and SMART Response
will add one chart to the report with two bars, one for each tag.
Assign multiple tags to a student by separating them with a semicolon (;), for example
“Senior;Honors” and “Junior;Honors”. SMART Response then generates a report
including a chart with three bars for “Senior”, “Junior” and “Honors”, respectively.
Create tag subcategories by separating them with a colon (:), for example,
“Gender:Male” and “Gender:Female”. In this case, SMART Response generates a
single report section for “Gender” showing data grouped into “Male” and “Female”
subsections.
Importing Class Lists from Microsoft
Excel® Software (Windows Operating
Systems Only)
If you use Microsoft Excel to maintain student rosters, you can import an XLS file into
the Teacher Tools to create a class list.
NOTE
You may find it easier to copy the list of names into a new Excel spreadsheet.
To create a class list
in a Microsoft
Excel Spreadsheet
1. Open the spreadsheet listing your student names in Microsoft Excel.
2. Insert a blank row at the top of the spreadsheet, if it doesn’t already have one.
