Collaborative Note Taking!

Note-taking is a difficult concept for students to grasp. Often times they either write down everything or only what gets written on the board. Pulling out the most important information doesn’t always happen when students take notes. Allowing them to be in a collaborative setting can guarantee that they will get the most important information. In this blog post, Kasey Bell walks you through the steps of training students to take collaborative notes through Docs.


Collaborative notes are also a great way to keep track of important information from staff meetings or any professional development.

JANUARY EDTECH UPDATE

JANUARY EDTECH UPDATE

After a break is a good time to revisit and reteach Digital Citizenship. Students probably just spent a great deal of time on devices, so use that as an opportunity to talk about the issues they might face and then how to prevent those issues from happening is a proactive way.
