Teaching with Technology Tip

How can I use technology to help students record and represent knowledge?

Beginning Tip
Consider having students record their thoughts in digital reflective learning journals during instruction, group collaboration, or project work time using free note-taking software such as EverNote.

Emerging Tip
Consider having students design tutorials to represent their newly actualized knowledge using the screen recording feature on interactive whiteboard (IWB) software, or by using free screen capture tools such as Jing or ScreenChomp.

Innovating Tip
Have your students post their tutorials on a classroom blog or webpage to contribute to other students’ knowledge of the content. Encourage students to comment on these posts and provide feedback on each other’s learning products.
