Erin's tracker explainer
Craig's tracker - a spreadsheet with formulas to move students' names automatically
Note from Zach - try making a copy of this one and mess around with it. You'll see the magic happen when you give student an "x" on a lesson. Do note that, when everyone is on lesson 1, the names still display in a very long list that may be longer than the screen. However, as students make progress and spread across two or three lessons, the columns of names get shorter and should fit on screen.
