This year the CBE created an Office 365 environment for all the teachers and students. Different applications started to be available during the year: OneDrive, Sway and OneNote amongst others. As a Surface user, I already knew and used OneNote for personal purposes and soon I started to play around with it and discovered a myriad of possibilities for my lessons. I started to use it and soon it became an essential in my class, especially since I do not have a textbook for Mathematics or Spanish. From all the technological tools that I have used in my career, this one has been the most transforming. These are the main 3 reasons why I love it:
OneNote Class Notebook facilitates instruction, communication, class work, editing students' work, communication with families and lessons recycling for future years. For my students, it has been a key part of their success. They got so used to it that if I wrote something on the board they would ask me to put it also on OneNote. They love to come to the board and write their answers. It must have helped them because this year, their results on the PATs ( Provincial Tests) were 5% higher. In the next post I will share some tricks to set up classroom accounts. If you have other suggestions on how to use OneNote in the classroom please join the OneNote group on "Yammer".
