Which technology tool might be used to facilitate (creating, sharing) the 'note pass' activity? 

If you're not worried about the students not knowing who is going to get their note, Google Docs would work. Thinking about how we've done note pass in PLN, usually students just pass their note around the table. In Google Docs, the teacher could have each student start a document (if he/she wanted a quote or prompt at the top, the teacher could start the doc and share it with the kids and have them make their own copy). Students could write their own ideas and then share their document with the student next to them, who then adds the next part. This would require some management and instruction the first time, but so does the traditional note pass activity.

Love these tips! I think they connect well with what we're doing with curriculum and assessment. Are there any tips you'd add?

Some great ideas in this article. Thanks, Joe!

According to this article we are right on track with our elementary technology day coming up in a few weeks. This PD promises to be exciting. Thanks Anne for the hard work leading up to this day!

From a business perspective, but applies to education as well.

Neat tool.

Love this! Use it all the time.

What is the value in having our students create their own digital portfolios?

Why and how should teachers encourage students and themselves to share their voices via blogs?

Some interesting similarities between points made in this article and our plan. Thoughts?
