A quick way to collect student info in computer labs

If they're all using Mac OS X just have them start up Address Book, have them enter their information with a new entry and export it as a vCard. Then have them put it in your drop box. They can even do this on a non Mac OS box as long as their program can handle .vcf/vCards. When they're done they can delete their entry in Address Book. You can then drop the .vcf files into your copy of Address book, organize each class as a group and print it off with a custom print set-up to get what you want. You could even go further and "print" the class list as a .pdf and use a pdf-to-txt, pdf-to-html, or pdf-to-doc converter if you want to edit or enter it into another program.
