Creating a Digital Notebook

Switching from in person to virtual meant a change in my notebook. I looked and created several different notebooks until I found one that worked for me.

Microsoft OneNote is the notebook I am using. It's easy for the students to navigate, I can front load information or load as we go, and it's free. Our district has Microsoft products so it is one of the hidden gems within the products they purchased. I have a Chromebook and the students use Chromebooks and we haven't run into a problem with it not working on either device. You can add pictures to your notebook, links, or text. I also like the tag feature which allows me to but boxes beside their To Do List which they can check when done and stars beside their test or projects. Overall, I think this digital notebook has helped my students stay organized during this time.

Here's a tutorial if you want to try it out.

Gimkit Don't Look Down

Gimkit came out with a new mode almost a week ago and the students love it. It's called Don't Look Down. In this mode, students work to reach the 6 different summits. Along the way they jump on various objects and test their skills. This game can teach you about your risk takers and your cautious students. If you want to add extra excitement, play with your students to see who gets higher. This is currently the favorite mode for my classes and I'd recommend giving it a try if you haven't.
