iPad-based Attendance + In-Class Participation

Problem Description

Attendance takes a long time if I do it. They forgot if they do it. We like using a wheel spinner to randomly select names but it includes everyone, even people who are absent. Also, I have toto keep track of who participated manually so I frequently forget.

Proposed Solution

An attendance easy button that allows a student to login on an iPad when they enter the classroom with one click or tap. This records attendance to a spreadsheet. The name is added to a digital name picker (like a wheel) for in-class participation. The name and participation gets recorded every time the student is called on.
