Use Student Radar on a phone or tablet
Written for: All school staff.
Student Radar works in the web browser on your phone or tablet. Sign in at the same address you use on a computer. On a smaller screen, the sidebar moves into a Menu at the bottom of the screen, and the search box becomes an icon to save space.
You’ll see this layout on a phone, and on most tablets when you hold them upright. Turn a large tablet sideways and you may get the full computer layout with the sidebar instead.
