Importance of Learning Students Names First Day of Class

I really enjoyed the section of the importance of learning students' names on the first day class.  I was already knowledgeable of learning all students names.  However, what I enjoyed about what was shared in this lesson was 1.) Having students to state their names and then say something specific and personal about them that they would feel comfortable sharing with classmates.  2.) Taking pictures of the class and label names for your own personal use if it's a large class.  I'll try both of these technique during the fall because I have small and large classes and sometimes it's approx. 2 weeks sometimes before I learn all of my students names especially in a large class.  I can understand how calling each student by their name would give them a sense of identity; as well as respect.
