Cam Scanner
Ever wished you had digital copies of your paper files? There's an app for that! It's called CamScanner and it's available for Apple and Android devices. Use your device to take a picture of any kind of paper: worksheets, conference notes, receipts, lesson plans, etc. CamScanner allows you to scale the picture, so you only see the paper part you want. Then it optimizes the image, so you get impressively clear, readable results. Another benefit is that it uses the space in your CamScanner account, not your device. You can save the files in your CamScanner account (premium features available to teachers for free) or BETTER YET upload it straight to your Google Drive. Other sharing options: email and fax.
Imagine the possibilities:

- Student was absent? Email them a digital copy or share on Google
- Keep all of your teacher receipts digital for tax purposes
- Keep track of recertification documentation
- Students can scan copies so they don't lose paper

Google Apps for Education
Rockingham County Schools began rolling out GAFE accounts for all employees at the end of 2013. We have a couple of Chromebook pilots happening right now in our schools to test out collaboration between students and teachers. Next year our Middle and High School students will get accounts. We are very excited about the possibilities and believe that this has the potential to impact education in our county in a big way!
