Edtech Co-Op Show 20: Using Evernote for Class Notetaking & Reflections from the Flipped Classroom Conference

Essential Question: How can digital note taking tools support learning in and out of the classroom?

Guest: Chris Ros of Alexandria Country Day School

Tips of the Week:
 
Chris- How to get things done by using Walt Disney’s 3 phase creativity strategy to come up with out of the box thinking. Three stages: Dreamer- think big; Critic -analyze the ideas; Realist - practical - how to make it happen.
 
David- To help students stay focused doing one task at a time, be efficient, help to be more productive and not try to multitask, look to use the Pomodoro Technique of working in 25 minute intervals with short breaks using a timer.

Mark- Paperless - great iBook from David Sparks that shares different workflows for eliminating or at least reducing our reliance on paper. It’s also a great example of some of the potential of iBooks as a platform for ebooks on the iPad.
