Set up a paper filing system for storing student work prior to digitizing

Get a small rolling file cabinet, set up folders for each student to store paper copies of their work for later scanning.

Scan or take digital copies of student work

Set up a scanning station, using a document camera or a simple digital camera to create a digital copy of student work.

Start by having older students, perhaps working under a Service Learning project, work with younger students to digitize this work.

[Insert instructions for how to scan with a document camera... is this an accurate copy of the type of document cameras you have?]

Create a digital storage system for organizing copies of student work

Set up a set of folders for each student. There are several places where you could store this set of folders:

• A folder on the teacher's computer containing sub-folders for each child (accessible by anyone with access to the teacher's computer)
  
• A folder on the teacher's account on the xServe containing sub-folders for each child (accessible by anyone with access to the teacher's account on the xServe)
• Upload the students' work into each individual User Account on the xServe (must sign in to each student account individually)
