formidable task is made much easier using a photographic seating chart TPE tip Teachers may use photographic seating charts combined with student information surveys to learn about their students early in the semester TPE 8 Make certain to check with your school regarding policies for photographing students Use a digital camera to make a seating chart for one of the classes you teach or for
