Un-Pairing/Re-Pairing Student Devices

First, you will need to un-pair the student tablet from the organization as follows:

1. On the student device navigate to the wait screen. There is a hidden menu in the lower left hand corner. Press and hold (or click if you are using a device with a mouse) in that corner of the screen (make sure your holding the corner of the screen, not the physical corner of the device!) for 5-7 seconds until the hidden menu appears, then choose “unpair tablet”.

2. On the facilitator tablet, navigate to the session setup screen. You can Quick Pair or Pair Device with Nickname. 

Once you've un-paired the student device, please follow the instructions above for pairing.
