Taking Attendance
Thursday, January 8th, 2009
Normally it takes me about two minutes to take attendance in class. I’m trying something different this semester. Using my point-and-shoot I can snap four pictures covering everyone in class in about ten seconds.
Every day I post these pictures in Blackboard. If someone misses class, he/she can easily see who was there and pick up the notes. The pictures I post in Blackboard are full size (8 megapixel). The resolution is high enough that it is easy to identify everyone.
