Tech Tip Tuesday: Keep a record

Keeping student work to show other students can be a very valuable way of modeling.  It teaches kids to learn from each other and it allows teachers to showcase what quality work looks like, but sometimes there is just too much or projects are too big to store all of them.

The solution: digital photography or video.  Digital snapshots of exceptional dioramas, artwork, water filtration systems, Science Fair displays, almost anything kids can do you can take a picture or video of it.  These digital videos and images become an archive of exceptional student work that can be shared back at the appropriate time.

Want to make even more of you digital archive? Consider storing it online with a free tool for photo sharing and storage.
