One thing that is AMAZING about OneNote is the ability to add your own flare and practicality all into one page. Mrs. Newsom has done just that with her Bellringers page. In each student's notebook is a tab for Bellringers. They are organized weekly. Sunday night, Mrs. Newsom posts her Bellringers for the week. This allows her to save some time during the week with writing up a new Bellringer each morning. Her students also have a very distinct task each day when they walk in. For this particular Bellringer, quotes are shown along the left-hand side and the student responses are placed in the table on the right-hand side. This would also make it easy to review the student work at the end of the week, since all the week's bellringers are organized into 1 page.

Mrs. Maeker is using the Collaboration Space and draw features of OneNote to help her students review their work. Here is what she has to say about the project. I gave them the basic criteria of writing 10 complete advanced sentences using these 7 verbs. I pushed the assignment to them through One Note and they accessed it from there. We then moved into the "Collaboration tab" where I could see each of the students work while they were typing their sentences. As I checked their sentences electronically, every time I found an error, I highlighted the word in yellow. When the student made the change, I had them change the yellow color to green to show me it had been fixed. I loved this as I was able to give immediate feedback. I also had the students highlight the use of the irregular verb conjugations all through their sentences in sky blue to assure that they met part of the criteria. The next step for them after receiving the ok from me on their sentences, is to create a PowerPoint of 10 or more slides with their written sentences on each slide as well as including pictures, clip art etc. to make their PowerPoint creative. They will them present their PowerPoint to the class, telling us about what they did over the summer in the target language with a visual. The kids are really excited about working with me in writing this project as well as teaching me too with the technology end of it! " Examples of student work in the Collaboration Space.
The English 1 team has jumped right into OneNote and created a living document, we like to call a Hyperdoc! A hyperdoc allows the students to move through a lesson at their own pace while interacting through videos, websites, text, etc. In this hyperdoc activity the students engaged through analyzing quotes from a novel they were reading and then watched a video to get them exploring new ideas. After a writing activity, they were then asked to create a video to show their understanding of the lesson. Below you will find their Hyperdoc and a final product created by one of their students. https://www.powtoon.com/online-presentation/boLN96JBXmK/?mode=movie A really important part of teaching is to continue to evaluate the assignments which we give our students. While we may think something is awesome, our students may have another perception. Mrs. Newsom demonstrates this very important skill through the use of Office Forms. Creating an Office Form is super easy and it provides some really important feedback. Mrs. Newsom created the form through the Office 365 app and then distributed it through her classroom notebooks. The results were then collected on a spreadsheet for her to analyze the results of the evaluation and make adjustments as needed for next year. Casey Jeter has taken a different approach to using OneNote, and I think it is BRILLIANT! Going away from using the CLASSROOM NOTEBOOK, Coach Jeter has given all of his students editing rights to a traditional OneNote Notebook. By doing this, it allows each student to be a part of the curriculum development and collaboration is running WILD!
Above are samples of student created pages. One unit focused on learning the major contributors to Psychology. Each student was assigned a person to research and their information was then uploaded to a page within the unit's tab. Those tabs are not there for all students in the class to use. Kaytlin Hodges has made her OneNote notebook even more accessible for her kids through the use of an interactive calendar. On the first page of her IPC and Chemistry notebooks is a calendar, but not just any calendar. Inside of each date box, is a hyperlink to the page that the students will be completing in class. Students know exactly what they are doing when they open their notebook, and can simply click on the link to navigate there. Not only is this helpful to get started quickly in class, it is also much easier for students who are absent to know what work they missed. GREAT JOB MRS. HODGES!
What was the lesson? Students were reviewing information they had previous learned in Spanish 1 Why did I choose to use technology? "It's a very boring lesson and is as painful for them as it is for me! I could see it on their faces all day long yesterday. So I jumped right in, and made a Kahoot!" How did technology enhance the lesson? "When I introduced it to 4 classes, they were ecstatic and couldn't get their computers opened fast enough! They loved it. Every kid was engaged and so competitive! It was great and even fun for me just watching them get excited over a relatively boring concept The English I Team has created not only attractive but easy tools to help give direction to students and make navigation of the notebook easy to understand. Using a page at the beginning of each tab for directions allows the students to understand the purpose for each of the tabs in their notebook.
Ideas for Distribution: - Create the page in your teacher notebook and send out to student tabs - Create the page in the View Only tabs or Content Library and let students copy them over to their notebook Walk your students through each tab and go over the purpose for those tabs. Lead by Example! Put your OneNote on the screen and walk through your tabs and verbally give your directions. Taking the time to do so early on, will help organize and keep your students on track. Teacher: Coach Rave Lesson Objective: Students will become better acquainted with the events of the Gilded Age. How was technology used in this lesson? Students used Powerpoint to create timelines that contained the events in order along with a summary of those events. The internet was used to conduct research. How did technology enhance your lesson? Technology allowed the students to research a variety of websites instead of only having the textbook as a resource. The amount of time to conduct the research was cut down by a day, making it easier to do more in the classroom. What a student had to say: Coach Rave is making US history more interesting by allowing us to use the internet, rather than a book, to conduct our research on the Gilded Age. I felt that I had a better understanding, since I was allowed to use more resources. I also enjoyed being able to create my timeline using Powerpoint. |
