      Regarding Relevance, I would probably add a check to decide if the app is grade-appropriate and that it will support student growth toward mastery of curricular standards, lesson objectives, etc.

Science Journaling: Article on Science as Inquiry - 3 views

  •  
    This article outlines different ways journaling can be useful in elementary science classes.
  •  
    Why not use Haiku for students to keep their journals? Discussions or Wikiprojects in Haiku could be used for this. In fact, the Bridge Building teams at Tupelo Middle School are using Wikiprojects to keep their journals, collect their data, and compose their portfolios for competition.
  •  
    Good point. Wiki/discussion boards are great for students to converse back and forth and work collaboratively in groups, but there are a few advantages to the old fashioned type journal as well. Drawings as well as charts and graphs for science are sometimes more beneficial to student learning and expression when done on paper and pencil. Ultimately, you would want to have both. It is also important to note that with the software we have available on the Macs, you could use the Photo Booth to capture drawings and graph and upload them to Haiku/Wiki or wherever you were sharing/storing them electronically.
