graduating class, not grade level. That way the folders move forward with
the students. I created a specific drive (Student Photographs) which is
mapped at login for all students and teachers. I have not been successful
in getting teachers to put the time in to rename or resize individual files.
I archive each year's student pictures over to another drive so that the
day-to-day folders don't get clogged up too much and to prevent confusion.
That drive is organized by graduating class, too, but has folders within for
each grade/school year. Thus, the class of 2009 (our sixth graders) has
folders marked 2009 sixth grade, 2008 fifth grade, etc. Administrators have
access to the archived drive.
A growing problem for me, in terms of volume, is the rise of video. We are
starting a video-based assessment of our foreign language program. Each
student will be interviewed on tape for 15-20 minutes, twice a year. I
estimate for 30 minutes of video for each of 200 students will use between
9-11 GB of storage. Each year! Thankfully data storage is relatively
cheap.

If you only need to access them from within your network, I have found it
easiest to organize them in grade level folders. Within those folders you
can create separate folders for classrooms, event, etc. You will need some
cross grade folders to deal with them too.
Organizing pictures is REALLY time consuming. It is really easy to dump an
entire SD card of pictures into a folder, so by the end of the year there
are thousands of pictures. It is much better to just put 4-5 pictures at a
time in folders, spending the time to rename them.
Also, if you do an electronic yearbook, often the YB adviser will organize
pictures for the yearbook, so coordinate with this person.

Hi Everyone,
We are looking for a good way to manage and store all of our digital
photos.
What are some labeling techniques you have used?
How do you store your digital pictures? Who has access to it?
What have you done with archived pictures?
Thanks for any ideas.
