Saving time and sharing

Morning! This is going to be a quick post just to share something new I recently learned. I've been using OneNote for more than a year now in lieu of Smart Notebook. OneNote has some quirks, but it does a much better job of keeping me organized. And the newest reason I love it is because I realized I can give my students viewing privileges for the class notes/discussion. No more exporting pdf's and emailing them to absentees or posting them to the website- it's all there in a single link. So excited, especially because so many students have been traveling lately to do awesome things.

Also, check out Genius Scan. It can insert images directly into OneNote (with a purchase). I really like it for getting student work up in front of the class in an anonymous way, especially when we run out of time and have to pick up the following day (darn those short periods!).

Secondly (and finally), I gave a presentation at the Fall Institute for the Global Teacher Fellowship about my journey to Australia. If you're interested, you can find it here.

Cheers!
