Few Issues

 * Sometimes the AT&T network is poor in out school. However students on our WiFi have limited issues
 * Sometimes the students choose to put funny names in as their names. However they have to give me their assigned number for the class at the end. I have a three digit code for them to use. The first digit is the period and the next two digits are their position alphabetically in class.

=Benefits=
 * Less time grading!
 * If you have an absent student, you can have them easily make up the quiz
 * You can easily see if one problem or another has given the students trouble or not
