Germaine forwards it to the class so it will be waiting for them in their portable units. She then reviews the status of student work. She checks how many of her students assess themselves as ahead or behind schedule in their projects and how many have asked for guidance. She clicks on these students to schedule personal conferences. She reviews the mentor conferences.
Student groups have regular conferences with experts who help direct their project work.
At the end of each conference, mentors reply to a few short questions and their answers are automatically loaded to a database and stored in graphic format with other assessments. Germaine loads the mini-pic graphs of her whole class. She rearranges them to look at them by gender and then by academic group. She clicks on some individual students and they are added to the schedule of personal conferences. The students arrive and take their notebooks out of the charging units and check their daily schedule and mail.
