I like the idea of having the students take ownership for their own notes and understanding of the material. It is always better for the students to synthesize their understanding then to simply put notes on a chalkboard or slideshow and expect them to copy and understand.
ReplyDeleteI have used evernote briefly, but I am not familiar with all of the features of the app. However, I like the idea of having "interactive notebooks", where students could add multimedia or links to their notes, and be able to collaborate or share their notes with other classmates using this medium for note taking. Hopefully, if this were to go really well you would be able to step back and students would become creatures of habit. Nice idea!
