A simple checklist, minus the paper!
I had a great first week back at school last week, as Melbourne schools prepare for their last term of the year! Last week I tried something new (for me anyway) using Evernote and the iPad. As many readers of this blog are aware, I do not organise my paper work well and as a result have been trying ways to eliminate paper in my classroom. I have had so much success with using Evernote and Goodreader to complete running records and reading assessments/conferences that I know my quest to be a paperless organised teacher is only just beginning! Many teachers may have different ways of recording a childs home reading habits and in the past, I have always used a checklist, where I would tick and sign if a student brought their reader in. It got me thinking….How else could we as super organised teachers use the checkbox feature in Evernote? What could you use the Evernote checkbox feature for?
