Un-Pairing/Re-Pairing Student Devices
First, you will need to un-pair the student tablet from the organization as follows:
-
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 3-5 seconds until the hidden menu appears, then choose “unpair tablet”.
-
On the facilitator tablet, navigate to the session setup screen, choose “Add new tablet”, which will prompt you for the new name of the tablet. You will be provided with a new code to register on the student device.
Once you've un-paired the student device, please follow the instructions above for pairing.
