Collaborative Note Taking!
Note-taking is a difficult concept for students to grasp. Often times they either write down everything or only what gets written on the board. Pulling out the most important information doesn’t always happen when students take notes. Allowing them to be in a collaborative setting can guarantee that they will get the most important information. In this blog post, Kasey Bell walks you through the steps of training students to take collaborative notes through Docs.
Collaborative notes are also a great way to keep track of important information from staff meetings or any professional development.
