Using a Photo Class List

Using a pictorial roster helps teachers get to know their students better. I print the "Photo Class List" and familiarize myself with students names and pictures prior to the first day of class. During our first class meeting, I use the pictorial roster to jot down notes about each student as they introduce themselves. I also try to identify students as they walk into the classroom.

To learn the process for accessing the pictorial roster from your "myBama" account, watch the video below:



I offer a couple notes of caution about the pictorial roster. The pictures were taken during a students' orientation prior to their arrival on campus. Therefore, some students will not always appear as they do on the roster. Haircuts, facial hair, glasses, and hats sometimes throw you for a loop. Secondly, the roster prints a student's formal name. Be sure to jot down the name they go by during introductions or when you call the class roll.
