Check the class and session first
Make sure you are using the right list and date before you start marking students. If a status is unclear, verify it before you finish the session.
If the board is visible to the whole room, think about which individual attendance details are on screen while you work.

Set it up in Sabura

Start the lesson while you take attendance
Put a short retrieval question in Notes for students to answer as they settle. Take attendance while they work, then move into the discussion once you have checked any uncertain names.
Teaching tip
If you cannot see a student clearly from where you are sitting, check before marking them absent.
