Scanning and Storing Documents

1. Documents can be scanned for us on the SmartBoard without copyright infringement.
2. Cannot redistribute copryrighted material on the web or elsewhere
3. Scanning can be done by HP software, for example, or directly from Notebook or Publisher (demo)
4. Scans should be renamed for easy locating in the future
5. Consider sharing scans in your shared folder and emailing colleagues to let them know what you have scanned. This avoids duplication of efforts.
6. After scanning a document, put a postie on it and write "scanned" on it with the date, where it is stored electronically, and the file name.
7. Scanned images can be saved as jpeg files and inserted into Notebook or Publisher (demo) and cropped and enhanced
8. There is a difference between scanning a "picture" and scanning a "document." One uses OCR technology which is very cool. (Demo).
