Ms. Robinson has taken group work to a whole new level using the Collaboration Space feature in OneNote. Each group creates a page in the collaboration space to collect and record information being researched. OneNote also makes it easy for the teacher to track the amount of work each member is contributing to the group. In the image below, you can see initials showing which students posted which information. It also allows you to hover over the initials to see when the last edit was made by each student. For this particular project, after the information is collected, students will create a PowerPoint presentation to display the information. That PowerPoint file can be uploaded back onto the OneNote page for the teacher or other group members to edit.

Our English III team is using the highlighter features in OneNote to help identify musical devices found in literature. First and foremost, instructions need to be VERY clear. In the first section, the content directions are stated. After the content directions are given, it is important to follow up with very specific tech directions as well. While we think students know how to work technology, many of them do not. So don't forget your tech directions. Below you will find the tech directions that were left for the students on their OneNote page. Here is an example of student work using the OneNote highlighting feature. This same feature could be used any all subjects. Students could use the highlighting feature to break down different aspects of text, highlight important parts of an article, or break apart notes.
Awesome SSISD choir teacher, Beth Cole, is a OneNote wiz kid! She uses OneNote to help facilitate her choir kids learning about rhythm. Directions are written clearly, she has hyperlinked her important outside websites, and asks them to create videos to show their understanding.
Check out the example below. You can see the actual sample on our public OneNote page: http://bit.ly/2dlZngf under the Fine Arts tab. Below are some screenshots of the page. I first want to brag on our English III team (Mrs. Westberry, Mrs. Hodges, and Mrs. Adamson) were an amazing group of teachers with an abundance of ideas. They were able to accomplish and finish so much in our 1/2 day of technology and curriculum planning. So I want to show off some of the cool things that they have worked on. First, they decided to stick mostly to OneNote and learn to incorporate most of their ideas through OneNote pages. While they may have used some outside website, everything was linked back to OneNote to keep things simple for their students. So here are some of the creative ideas that were worked on: Short Story Unit In the short story unit they were able to create a hyperdoc that walked students through satire. It started with a simple example of satire, then had them apply their understanding of satire to the short story they were reading, and lastly asked the students to create their own example of satire in their everyday lives through a comic. In this unit they also discuss foreshadowing. Using OneNote they attached their short story and a concept map for the students to use and display examples of foreshadowing in their reading. Here is a screenshot of that page. The Crucible The next unit was The Crucible. In this unit, an emphasis was placed on character development. So a couple of pages were made for students to analyze a particular character or to rank the characters by morality. Here are screenshots of those assignments. And who does the crucible without going on a witch hunt?! The team found an online witch hunt through National Geographic. They hyperlinked the URL into their OneNote page. Those were just a few of the activities that were accomplished that day. Excited for students to continue on this journey with our amazing teachers.
