21st Century Notebooking Using Wikis, blogs and word processing to enhance learning Created and Presented By Jacob Hayward Northwest Arkansas Educational Cooperative
Agenda • Argument for using Notebooks • Traditional Notebooking Organization • 21st Century Notebooking
Why Notebooking? • Satisfy multiple requirements • Enhance student thinking and deepens understanding • Improves students’ abilities to communicate their thinking (Klentschy-page 2) • Helps students connect content with real world or surrounding world (Klentschy-page 2) • Encourages organization of materials
Notebook Structure and Organization • My non-negotiables • Table of Contents • Page Numbers • Vocabulary- Where to put it? As needed when students encounter new terms or in a section dedicated to vocabulary • Notable Mentionables • Divisions of Content • Line of Learning
Determine What to Assess-Taken from Barney Peterson & Anna Williamson • Notebook format? • Text features • Date • Page number • Table of Contents • Charts, tables, graphs • Labels • Glossary
How I do my vocabulary- Four Square Can also do Flip books or word sorts/ vocabulary cards. - Ideas from SIOP model
Line of Learning- Taken from Barney Peterson & Anna Williamson • Ask students to draw a line beneath the last line of text they wrote in their notebooks. • Discuss the investigation they just completed having them use the reflections they recorded in their notebooks. • Make sure important content comes out during the discussion. • Record important information on the board during the discussion. • Instruct students to add any information they don’t have in their notebooks beneath the Line of Learning
* Klentschy’s Notebook Organization
Rubrics • How will you assess? • Overall notebook design • Specific assignments • Summative vs. Formative • Grade level dependent • Information on the next 5 slides is taken from • http://www.sciencenotebooks.org/ & • Barney Peterson & Anna Williamson
* Primary Scoring Rubric
Notebook Rubric- Secondary An Organized Science Notebook Entry _____ Date _____ Guiding Question written as question _____ Prediction about answer to question _____ List of materials used _____ Step by step procedure directions _____ Labeled diagram that shows procedure _____ Identify variable that is controlled _____ Identify variable that is changed _____ Identify variable that is measured _____ Data table _____ Observations _____ Conclusion based upon data and observations Suggestions for improvement:
Taking Notebooking into 21st Century • Using Laptops/PDAs with internet connection to work with: • Word Documents • Blogs • Wikis
Word Documents • Microsoft Word software • Google Docs • Penzu.com • Etherpad.com
Blogs • What are they? • Site usually maintained by a person or organization • Quick thought or sharing of ideas • Many venues- sports, politics, articles, books, etc. • NPR • How can they be used? • Language Arts • Math • Social Studies • Science Blogger.com Edublog.com Moodle.com
Wikis • What are they? • A website that one can create that is used to create a collaborative website for its users. (Taken from Wikipedia) • How can they be used? • Like a webpage • Resource center TIE Cadre TechTalk
Some questions for you to ponder: • On Notebooks • On Technology
How will your notebooks look? • Table of Contents- • Vocabulary- make a separate section or place at beginning of each entry when applicable? • How often will we use notebooks? • In science, will you separate Life Science, Earth Science, and Physical Science? • How can you apply this to Language Arts, Social Studies, and Mathematics? • What will your rubrics look like? • How will I grade them? All at once, rotation, peer-to-peer, or combination of the above? • How will the piece on reflection look?
Technology • How much accessibility to computers/internet do you have? • What challenges do you currently have within your building? Your district? • In what ways can you overcome/solve these challenges? • How would you implement this? • How would you redesign your lessons/activities to support this? • NWA Tech Talk
