 Disconnect the programming cable from your Arduino module.
 Remove the foam covering the metal pins on the bottom of the Board of
Education Shield.
Look closely at your Arduino module and the pins on the Board of Education Shield to see
how the sockets and pins will line up for your particular boards. Note that if you have an
Arduino Mega, its USB port and power jack will be close to the edge of the shield, like the
image above-right, and below-left.
Component placement varies a little bit for the different Arduino models; some can only fit
one or two Nylon standoffs for holding the boards together. This is okay, but you need to find
out which holes you can use before socketing the Board of Education Shield.
