Ideas for the Classroom

 * ======Teachers could promote a stronger home/school connection by inviting the parents to view pictures of important occasions shared in the classroom. For example, a customized slideshow may be available for parents unable to attend a school show. They can view pictures of the event played to the music that the kids sung in the show. This would help them feel better connected to their child’s learning environment.======
 * ======Yearbook staff members may easily access the photos to use if necessary (a simple copy/paste would be required).======
 * ======Teachers can document their year and frequently share this information with colleagues, administration, county officials, and parents.======
