 Keep a journal of session notesMinimum version: FirstClass 5.5
Audience: Teachers

 Features we use:
 SummaryDo you maintain hard copy files from year to year to remind you of what projects you have done and how they turned out? Consider using FirstClass documents to maintain a journal from one year to the next. Record session notes, problems encountered, how to handle obstacles, new ideas, best practices, and so on.
The advantage of using FirstClass documents over other options is that the information is centralized -- right in your Mailbox, you won't lose the information if your computer crashes, and you can easily share it with others by pasting into a message or putting the document(s) in a conference.
ExampleJohn Smith is an English teacher at Avalon Academy. He maintains a personal journal from year to year to make note of his experiences with each class topic.
He maintains a folder in his Mailbox called Journal. Inside it, he has subfolders for each year, and then documents for each task he writes about.
 Here are his notes for the last English project he assigned.
 More information WarningIt is important that you check the expiry period on each document so they don't get deleted. This field is found on the Properties form of each document.
 Another option is to create a conference instead of folders, and then set the Message expiry field on the Permissions form for that conference to Never.
