I get them to hold up a piece of paper with their name on it and rename the digital photo to studentname.jpg thus making a particular photo easy to find if needed. One thing that I noticed a while ago was that if the student wrote their name in green texta then it was quite hard to read on the digital photograph. So why did Victoria and Queensland move away from rego plates with green letters on a white background? you be the judge but I would guess that the explosion of roadside digital cameras might have a lot to do with it. If at first you don't succeed then skydiving is not for you.
