Ever feel overwhelmed at the beginning of the school year trying to learn all of your students' names? Well, as a middle school teacher, that task is harder now that they have outgrown name tags or desk name cards. Try this!

1. Using a digital camera, take each student's photo. Be sure to get a nice close-up shot of that contains the shoulders and head.

2. Using an USB drive, transfer the photos to your computer.

3. Print all of the photos in a tiny size, about 1 in. square.
I love to import them into iPhoto on a Mac. Select make a book, and then select yearbook, twenty photos to a page. iPhoto allows you to name each photo, so that when I print out the photos, they are all the same size and the student's name is under their photo.

4. Cut out all of the photos.

5. Obtain a magnetic page photo album. (Those sticky pages that have clear plastic over them.) Arrange the photos according to your classroom seating chart.

6. Now you have a photo seating chart for you or a substitute! Since the photos are on magnetic photo pages you can easily rearrange the photos as often as you wish to change the seating chart in your room!
