Beanstack has a built-in scanner and external scanners can't be used. The Beanstack app can’t be used for scanning, but teachers can log into Clever, get to the full Beanstack website, access their Classroom Library, and use their phone as a scanner. Some have found this quicker, but no one is expected to use their personal device to complete this task.
