In addition to using the e-Portfolio to accomplish this, we also deliver opportunities for personalized learning and develop students’ autonomous learning skills. Some of these elements can be implemented only by technical tools and some have to be put into teaching methodology, taken into a teacher’s attention while planning lessons.Īt the Kaunas Kazys Grinius Progymnasium School, we find ways to shift some of the responsibility for learning from the teacher to the students. There should be the ability to work on a task and change it several times, select the best learning experiences and save to a place in the e-Portfolio and have work ready to share as learning evidence or achievement. It should demonstrate student reflection.It should reflect a student‘s authorship, meaning a student has the choice whether or not to share the contents of the portfolio.It has to possess structured content and the student‘s reflection on the learning process.There are six elements of an e-Portfolio that should be followed to turn the OneNote Class Notebook into an e-Portfolio: Showcase of examples of the best achievements.Workspace for individual work, learning diaries and drafts.Storage of learning evidence personalized learning plans and feedback from peers, teachers and parents.The Content Library fulfills the function of storage as all materials that teachers share in that Class Notebook are stored for a period of several years. In the Collaboration Space, students learn and interact with peers and get feedback on their learning, and it serves as workspace for collaboration. Each student’s notebook is used to store class work, notes, records and assessments. The Collaboration Space area in Class Notebooks serves as storage and a workspace where students of a particular class learn together: share ideas, talk, create, reflect and interact. Let’s go through the main elements of an e-Portfolio and discuss how OneNote Class Notebook as a technological tool helps to implement it. As one of our aims is to have each student’s learning e-Portfolio for at least four years, it is highly important to organize all materials in it and make them long-lasting, easy to find and to take it from storage anytime a student finishes studying in a school. With a teachers’ leadership group, we have tried various scenarios of teaching, which were shared with 35 schools in Lithuania. In 2015, I started using OneNote Class Notebooks to create e-Portfolios for 5 th-grade students to foster autonomous learning and 21 st-century skills. If you would ask me, “What is a OneNote Class Notebook?” I would say that for me it is the digital space that connects students and teachers of one class into a virtual learning community. The OneNote Class Notebook tool is simple to use and to create portfolios for students, because it builds off the structure of OneNote automatically with a the push of a few buttons. Students like to compare their work from the last year and see how their knowledge developed this year. The practice of a few years proved that the methodology of a portfolio has a positive impact on students’ learning, creativity and motivation. It is hard to imagine it now, but in 2014, I created a folder in my OneDrive with 24 OneNote files for each student in that class, and then made a list in Word Online with students’ names and family names and links to each student’s portfolio, and shared that Word document with teachers who worked in that class and students. OneNote helped me to create a class portfolio where all students and teachers in one class were connected in one place. Many tools used for portfolios were technically hard for teachers to understand and for students to find all their work in one place and not scattered.
#HOW TO CREATE NOTEBOOK IN ONENOTE 2016 HOW TO#
It was easy for teachers and students to learn how to use. OneNote, which looked familiar to teachers and students (like a digital notebook) proved to be a great tool for portfolios. Back then, I was looking for a simple solution for kids and teachers to understand. A few years ago, I chose OneNote to create portfolios for my students and teachers. I have been working with kids, teachers and parents since 2012 on the concept of portfolio. Today’s post was written by Edita Rabizaite, ESL teacher and ICT coordinator at the Kaunas Kazys Grinius Progymnasium School in Lithuania.
