985 PointsJames Barnett Kenneth Love Artem Prytkov The students will say their name, the teacher will type it into the computer, and when she is done typing all the students in, then she can be able to send it to another computer. So it's like you type a list of names and classes down, and when you type "Done" it will be forwarded to another computer automatically.

11,932 PointsSome ideas: 1) You might want to make this app in MS Access. It might be the fastest way to build such app, cause you can it in 1-2 weeks. If time isn`t an issue I recommend learn RoR
2)You definitely dont want to have your teachers manually enter all students for each lesson: itll take a lot of time and will lead to typos and errors. It would be much better to make a list of students for a given class with tickbox. Teacher will mark present students and save this list to server.
