To add students that you will be observing:
Each student account will generate a pairing code by using the instructions listed above either on the mobile device or if the student is using a computer. Once the pairing codes are generated, the parent/observer should perform the following to add students:
If the parent/observer is using the mobile app,
Open the app, you should see a small arrow beside the student you just paired with.
Click the down arrow and you will be prompted to click an "Add Student" button
Enter the "Pairing code" generated from the next student's account
Continue this process until each of your students are listed that you need to observe
If the parent/observer is using the URL,
It is suggested to add all students that you will be observing when you create your initial account, otherwise you will log in again to add each student once they are available to generate his/her own pairing code.
Parent/observer, when you are logged in, select "Account" on the left side of your screen.
Select "Observing" from the dropdown menu that appears
Enter the pairing code generated for the student you need to add and observe
Select "+Student" and refresh your browser to ensure they have been added
