3) For younger students that do not remember their identification number, have teachers send the students to the library with their library card or hand them out at the beginning of class. I made name tags for my students and added their barcode to the back. Items and links are below to make the students library cards/name tags like the ones in the picture. If cost is an issue, barcode labels can be put on index cards.
4) Use a 10 Key Numeric Keypad to reduce distractions. I set up the self-checkout station so that students have to put their number in. It does not allow for name search. (Not pictured above. I added that later)
5) Create directions and post them next to the self-checkout station. Tape the directions down so that they do not go missing. Put the computer where you can see the screen if needed. The first couple of weeks, stand near the self-checkout line so that you can assist if needed. If possible, have older students volunteer during checkout time for Ks and 1s.
