Can we gain attendance by using iPads, Tablets, or Chromebooks?

Unfortunately, mobile devices such as tablets, phones, and Chromebooks cannot be used as a primary device for accessing the Online School because they do not support all the necessary software products. They are not to be used as primary devices for daily attendance and should only be used for temporary & short term situations. Devices running the latest iOS, iPadOS, and AndroidOS can be used as supplemental & short term devices in some cases, but your experience may vary between different courses and different devices
