Documenting learning isn’t just for teachers. Making student thinking visible is more accessible now than ever before as technology becomes more ubiquitous – both teachers and students can benefit. We’ll share some of the digital tools that make documentation possible (e.g., Google documents and presentations, audio and visual recording applications and collaborative online spaces). It doesn’t matter whether you are using computers, tablets or Chromebooks…we’ll discuss how this archiving of learning can facilitate immediate and descriptive feedback, reflection, collaboration, and accountable talk that leads to deeper learning for the classroom community.
