I recently attended the Leveraging Learning conference in Auburn where I had the pleasure of attending a session by Katharine Hale on digital note taking. Similar to traditional sticky notes, "diginotes" are simply any digital board that allows students to add, collect, and move text, audio, or visuals in one space to analyze text, make connections, or demonstrate their understanding of a particular strategy. The digital board can include features such as sticky notes, text boxes, arrows, or index cards. Padlet, Book Creator, Popplet, and PicCollage Kids are all great places to create diginotes. Diginotes are a fun alternative to traditional sticky notes and it comes with the added bonus of providing students with more space to elaborate on their ideas. Diginotes also make it easier for students to support their ideas with visuals and direct evidence from the text, whereas traditional sticky notes can be difficult to interpret and can get tucked away in the pages of a book making it challenging to see the flow and connection of students' ideas. Have you tried digital note taking with your students? You may be surprised at how motivated your students will become to dig deeper into their reading with the aid of digital tools.
