Creating Digital Notebooks with Google Slides @ Catlin Tucker


Creating Digital Notebooks with Google Slides
Catlin Tucker: 8.02.2019

In my role as a blended learning coach, I work with a lot of teachers who are intrigued by the idea of digital notebooks. They recognize the value of having student integrate text and media in an online notebook. They also like the idea of housing student work in a central location that is viewable to both the student and the teacher.

Teachers working with younger kids or special needs groups may not want their students posting their work online for a global audience. A simple alternative to creating a digital notebook using a website creator is to use Google Slides to create digital notebooks for each unit.

The benefits of a digital notebook for students include the ability to:

Insert media (photos, images, videos), charts, and tables to complement their notes. If they enjoy writing notes by hand, they can take a photo of those notes and insert them into their digital notebooks.
 Add additional slides.
 Add to and reference their work from any device.
 Create artifacts of their learning that can be shared easily with parents.
 Reflect on their learning and growth with an embedded reflective blog.
 Add comments and tag the teacher to ask questions and/or request support.

Based on 7 readability formulas:
