Presented by: Autumn Laidler
10:00-11:00
Room 157

The traditional use of student science journals involve notes, lab documentation, information and data from an investigation, tables, charts and even sketches.  This session will highlight how the best elements of a science journal can be captured digitally along with the addition of photos, voice recording from the student, and research notes from online sources in the content.  The session will also explore uses of tags for organization of concepts, sharing between student and peers, and creating e-portfolios from the student work.  To explore building a journal bring an iPad to this session.
