In order to keep track of the numerous projects the students produce, I created simple name tags using large sized index cards. Once a student completes a project, or when the time is up, I take a picture that includes the project and the student&#8217;s name tag. I then can save that image for future reference. Taking pictures can ease the younger students&#8217; anguish of having to take apart projects, and makes it possible to record students&#8217; progression throughout the years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">With the number of students I have, \u00a0I can easily take 550 pictures within a week. Storing and organizing those could be a nightmare. There are multiple ways to upload pictures or videos of student work. Projects can be captured and uploaded via a smart phone or tablet. I am quicker at this point taking so many pictures with my digital camera. The upload is easy and I can assign a &#8220;grade&#8221; with each item I upload. Name tags are a simple idea to make project management and organization easy even with large number of students.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Name-tag-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1041 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Name-tag-1-300x251.png\" alt=\"Name tag 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Name-tag-1-300x251.png 300w, http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Name-tag-1-600x503.png 600w, http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Name-tag-1.png 876w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an elementary engineering teacher, I see approximately 550 students during the course of a week.
