Classes & Analytics / Slips and the board
Print slips, copy handles and the class whiteboard
The bridge between the platform's labels and the children in front of you.
The slip is the only place the label meets the person.
Print slips
Print slips produces a grid, three to a page, each slip carrying the alias if one is set, the handle and the class name. A slip for a learner who has used their link is badged as used on screen, though not on the print.
This is the physical half of the identity model. A class holds handles, not names, so the slip is where a handle becomes a particular child — by you handing it to them.
Keep your own record of who got which slip, somewhere outside the platform and somewhere you will still have next term. Nothing in TeachForge can reconstruct it, by design.
Copy handles
Copy handles copies the handles and aliases as tab-separated lines, ready to paste into a spreadsheet or a mark book. It is the quickest route to your own name-to-handle list.
Teacher whiteboard
Teacher whiteboard opens or creates the class's own board. The hint explains how it fits together: the teacher whiteboard opens your board, and students use their own personal links and arrive on the same board.
So there is one board, and the way in differs. You open it as yourself; learners open it through their personal link, which is what makes their work on it attributable.
Why the board refuses its own link
A tracked class board will not give you its generic share link or a QR code. The message is: this board is tracked, so share personal links from the class page instead of this generic URL or QR code.
A QR code on the projector is one link for everybody. Everything done through it is anonymous, and the board's whole reason for being tracked disappears. The refusal is the platform protecting the thing you set up.
The class page's own board field carries the same warning where you paste a board token: never put a class token on the shared board link or QR.
Opening a learner's record
Open record on a roster row goes to that learner's learning record: their attempts, their timeline and their skills. Students and the student record covers what is in it.
