My Roadblocks: I lost my notes I turned that in to youI did that, you lost it When can I take notes on my iPadWhat happens if they lose their iPad or sent off for repairWhat if their iPad isn’t chargedDistrict is going 1:1
I thought there must be a better way, how can I achieve 1:1 and fix some of these issues at the same time?
The Digital Writing Workshop
“Connecting what we know about effective instruction with the writing workshop approach to what we are learning about emerging technologies can provide us with a powerful way to teach digital writing. “ Troy Hicks, http://digitalwritingworkshop.wikispaces.com/Chapter1

INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOKS
Why Interactive notebooks work? This style of notebook uses both the right and left-brain hemispheres to help sort, categorize and be creative with the newly attained knowledge. The right side of the spiral notebook is for writing down information given by the teacher (notes, vocabulary, video notes, labs, etc.). The left side of the spiral shows the understanding of the information from the right side (brainstorming, reflections, drawings/figures, worksheets, etc.). http://jyounghewes.tripod.com/science_notebooks.html
