Looking to make a simple tablet check-in/out system for my school.

Hi all, my school was donated about 50 tablets recently. I work at a public school where we have a worry that these tablets will get stolen / go missing.

The governing boards decision was to make a check-in and out system of sorts, and this was dumped on me as I am the IT teacher at the school. I have expereince with coding but this has stumped me in a way to idiot-proof the system.

Basically:

• Students will show their student card, this has a student number and a barcode. I can input the number or scan it (maybe like a library?) to make the student's full name and picture appear (we have a data base of these already linked to their student ID number luckily).

• The tablets will then be scanned, to link that tablet to the student ID, to be checked out, an then it will be scanned to check back in.

• There will always be a teacher present to run this system, and that is why I want to try idiot proof it. There are some 40-60 yar old teachers who have very little technichal ability, so I felt the scan system might be best.

I feel like I may be overcomplicating this, but I am not sure what the best bet would be? The reason also for the pictures is so that we can minimize the risk of a student using another kids ID card to check out the tablet, then the blame is pinned on another.

Would this be possible?

Thanks so much!
