COVER STORY
Capturing evidence of progress
An important aspect of this
programme is to discover how
technology can help early learners
develop confidence in their abilities
and recognise the progress that they
have made. Fujitsu scanners can help
in this regard by capturing a pupil’s
work throughout the term so that
children, teachers and parents can
see how their drawing and painting
has evolved and improved. Providing
digital files at the end of term
instead of, or as a supplement to,
the actual artwork is also convenient
for parents. Some schools are even
charging for this service to recoup the
cost of the scanner.
Improved communications
Schools are also making use of
Fujitsu scanners to improve their
administrative processes and to
enhance collaboration with students
and parents.
The Student Services department
at Ryburn Valley High School is a
case in point. It is using a Fujitsu
ScanSnap iX500 scanner to digitise
and distribute the large number of
financial documents handled by the
bursaries office and to streamline
everyday administrative processes,
including the management of
absence notes.
Pre-planned absence notes
handed in by parents used to be
photocopied by the department,
stored in filing cabinets and handed
out to teachers spread across the
school grounds – a slow, time-
consuming and unreliable process.
Now, absence notes are digitised on
the iX500 and, using the scan-to-
email function, circulated instantly to
the teachers concerned.
The iX500 doesn’t just save paper
and time; it has also enabled Ryburn
Valley High School to improve the
learning experience. When a pupil is
absent, missed classwork can now
be scanned and emailed to them so
that they can catch up at home.
