Troubleshooting the Tablet
Multiple Students working from home??
Here is a simple way to solve the problem of multiple students having to log in and out of resources.
(1) Try using different browsers for each student! One student use Chrome, one student use Firefox and one student use Edge.
(2) Or how about setting up browser profiles to use multiple accounts that you can easily switch between? Watch the tutorial below to get your browser profiles set up!!
