Setting up word lists
While Keyboard monitoring provides real-time tracking of what Students are typing, you can ensure Students are on track during the lesson by creating target or inappropriate word lists. There may be certain words that you will expect Students to include during a written lesson. When a Student types a word on the list, it will be identified with a visual indicator, green (target) or red (inappropriate).
The target word list can be sent to the Student Journal, allowing the Student to refer back to this after the lesson. Click the Journal icon above the Target Words pane.
The target word list can be viewed in the Student Toolbar.
