8. Teacher Reflection-
|
For this week's lesson plan, I decided to integrate Evernote in
order to teach students the practicality of having an organized notes
system. I have never taught this lesson as a teacher; however, as
an Integration Technology Specialist, where I integrated productivity
apps into academic classrooms. My method of integrating Evernote into
teachers' classrooms was very similar to how I broke down this lesson.
When I first started integrating Evernote in the classroom, I had
to overcome a few challenges. First, I had break down the technology
barrier of teachers who seemed to very hesitant and anxious since
notes were now becoming paperless. I assured the teachers that the
students will have Evernote notes be accessible anywhere. Therefore,
the teachers were informed that students not only had their notes
saved automatically using the Evernote app, but it syncs up with Evernote
on a computer. A second challenge I faced was converting students
to this type of digital thinking. Rather than have students organize
a binder with separate tabs, I was demonstrating how Evernote can
be broken into separate notebooks within the app where you can take
notes within those notebooks. Consequently, students eventually did
see the big picture and even exposed me to some of the advanced features
of taking notes with Evernote, such as recording lessons.
Evernote is a very powerful application wherein its multi-layered
as it has so many components; however, it's an application that increase
student productivity voluminously. In hindsight, I found teaching
the importance of note taking with technology to be very rewarding.
I was providing an organizational skill for students that they will
carry with them into other settings, either it is college or the work
setting.
