Two of my students have the same name. What do they do?
In a paid class, two students with the same name can make separate cards with different badges. In a free class, ask them to use different names.
In a paid class, two students can use the same name on separate player cards if they choose different badges. The new student chooses New player to make a card. In a free class, ask the students to use different names. In a free class, making a new card with the same name in the same class period replaces the existing session card.
If the Arcade asks whether a typed name has an existing record, a new student must not press YES — CONTINUE MY RECORD.
- Press I'M NEW — I'll pick a different name.
- Enter a different name, such as a first name and last initial.
- If the Arcade says Someone with your name already picked that badge — choose a different one!, pick another badge. Other students can use the same badge when their names differ.
If a card ends up with the wrong name, you can fix it with Rename in Arcade Reports. See How do I manage my students' player cards?
