I would type the amount and select the account on screen and the machine prints the transaction receipt. It is the envelopes that are sometimes missing.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103879727877816655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-55783606054563494682016-08-17T17:52:40.081-04:002016-08-17T17:52:40.081-04:00I like 3 colors.

Per Programming Patty's suggestions, I'd have for each adjunct a pencil box with 6 markers (2 of each color) a new eraser, a bottle of whiteboard cleaning fluid and a rag. That would be easy for them to carry from classroom to classroom.

But if left in the classrooms, unless those classrooms are always locked, they will be poached by other faculty. You'll have to make regular re-stocking rounds to be sure there are still markers in classrooms where they are needed.

It's not my only concern - but it's something I think I have no excuse not to fix.

I'd suggest starting by supplying them with 3 low-odor whiteboard markers, black/red/blue (or a box of chalk, if it comes to that), and see how that works.
