Tapping the name of a selected student a second time will de-select that student. In group lesson mode, individual students will not earn mastery stars, however their participation is being recorded for future activity reporting. While the Group Preview module still exists in the lesson list, all of the RoboKind curriculum is open for use with group lessons, including lessons in full, teach, or practice mode. Tip: Teachers who wish to use a combination of both group and individual lessons might consider using the Full or Teach lesson modes for Group lessons, and Practice mode for the student individual evaluations. Students must be in the same classroom in order to participate in a group lesson.
