Here's my (EVER)note 4 U!

What did you like and/or dislike about using a digital notebook?

I like everything about digital notebook as they are the best of both worlds; the best combo of  printed and the electronic pads. They are life-savers for visual learners like myself. I simply LOVE them!

How could you integrate a digital notebook into your class?

I would ask Ss to clip their sources and citations during research, annotate them or comment on them.

How could your students benefit from using digital notebooks?
They would develop better research skills and could work collaboratively on projects sharing their sources and findings in real time on the cloud. They would also hone their organisational and critical thinking skills by digitally/ physically keying/taking notes on their d-notebooks.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using digital tools for storytelling projects.

They fire Ss' imagination and help them exlore various means of multimodal forms of expressions. They offer an assortment of materials that help them structure ideas and plots developing critical and lateral thinking skills at the same time.

Which was your favorite tool from this unit? Why?

I adore storybird and so do my Ss. This year we used a creative writing lab with my 12-year-old kids and they simply excelled at writing stories of their own devise. It is great for collaborative writing, too. Here are my pupils' storybirds for you to browse!

Which of these tools will you teach? Which will you have students use?

I love prezi and storybird and have been using it in class with kids. I feel very intrigued by projeqt which I have come across in this module and will most certainly have my Ss use it next year.

I have grown pretty fond of scoop.it lately where I aggregate new content myself, but mostly follow Nik Pichey's picks and insights together with a couple more curators I have spotted.

What resources would you recommend to other educators?

 pulse, symbaloo, pinterest  Great collaborative curation tools! Suitable for all sorts of projects!

How could you engage students by curating content?

- by fostering informed discussions on a variety of hotly-debated current issues
- by asking them to do the curation work
- by collaborating in real time online
- by involving them in critically assessing media consumption patterns

How could you use content curation in your professional development and networking?

I would collect and annotate the content to be shared, discussed or considered. I would provide my own commentary and thoughts as a springpad for reflection ...
