The blog assignment this week is to research and discuss the possibilities of a Web 2.0 tool. I've been googling some possibilities, but nothing is really catching my eye. I've already discussed the benefits of blackboard along with blogs, wikis, and podcasts. Although this may technically be a Web 2.0 tool, I've decided to talk about Microsoft One Note.
I began using One Note this year as a way of sharing my gradebook with the other fifth grade teachers. Now that our report cards are online, there is no need to use this tool anymore. My fifth graders are about to begin their Global Awareness Technology Project. This is a group research project that is presented with a technology tool like Power Point or Share. The students have to do a lot of research, take notes, and site their sources. Our SBTS showed us how to use One Note as a way for the group to share their notes. The neat thing about One Note is that all group members can be on at the same time. It continuously syncs all the new information. This is a perfect way for a group to work collaboratively on a project!
