[nobe-l] Aira in the classroom

Hello, I can understand confidentiality can be an issue when using this service in the classroom. One suggestion I would have is to have students write their name on the back of the paper so that the representative helping you read the homework would not know the personal information of the student. If this is not possible because the homework is more than one page, you could give each student a number so that that is the only thing displayed on the paper. I’m really new to all of this so this might not help you. I hope it does though

I used it to get help reading something that the second grader couldn’t read so that I could help him.  I’ve also used it to put together poster board presentations for the kids as part of an assignment.
