OneNote klassenotatblokk og elevoppfølging

Noe av det jeg liker best med OneNote klassenotatblokk er hvor tidsbesparende og oversiktlig det er å følge med på elevene sine arbeidsprosesser. Klassenotatblokk tillegget har gjort det enda enklere å gjennomgå elevenes sider underveis, og til endelig vurdering. Med klassenotatblokk tillegget i verktøylinja får du tilgang til flere funksjoner/verktøy. Verktøyet Gjennomgå studenters arbeid fungerer aller best hvis jeg har Distribuert sider (oppgaver) inn i elevenes inndeling, slik at sidene får samme tittel hos hver elev.

Peer assessment - Class Notebook - Collaboration space

The Class Notebook has a collaboration space/section. This is perfect for digital exhibitions and Peer Assessment. In our subject Design and Architecture 1, my students make their own patterns and logo for a special cup. At the end, they paste their pictures in OneNote Class Notebook, in the collaboration space. The students has to write assessment to each other examples, two each, and the assessment will be visual for every student.  In the assessments, they has to use terminology from the subject and evaluation criteria from the task.

Split screen is timesaving for assesment

The policy of our school is that formal assessment has to be in the school's LMS system, Using my Surface Pro and split screen helps me save time. Changing between the different software and pages is no longer an issue.

Microsoft E² Global Educator Exchange 2015

Som en av tre norske lærere fikk jeg delta på Microsoft E² Global Educator Exchange 28. april til 1.mai 2015. Vi var spesielt heldige for akkurat dette året var samlingen i Microsoft sitt hovedsete i Redmond USA. Her fikk vi delta sammen med over 200 lærere fra hele verden. Vi ble kurset, deltok med presentasjoner og prosjekter, og fikk høre spennende foredrag blant annet av Satya Narayana Nadella, administrerende direktør i Microsoft. Vi fikk personlig omvisning av Mike Tholfsen i OneNote avdelingen/bygget der vi hilste på flere programvareutviklere. Som Surface ekspert fikk vi også en eksklusiv omvisning i Surface fabrikken, hvor vi blant annet fikk et opphold inni verdens stilleste rom. Medielærer Ole Johnny Devik har laget denne filmen etter turen.

My learning activity presented at E2 Redmond 2015:

I use OneNote in combination with assessment for learning. Students do their practical work on computers or by hand for building their vocational skills. My students use OneNote for presentation of the work they do in every subject, and share it with me as a teacher. They became more reflective on their own learning outcome. 

OneNote and assessment for learning

The purpose of my action study project (Master) was to contribute to the development of ICT based formative assessment, by utilizing OneNote for documentation and feedback at a Vg2 class in a vocational high school. The study was conducted in Vocational Specialization subject (Prosjekt til fordypning), and has the following overarching research question: What are the possibilities of using OneNote as a tool for assessment for learning? The national initiative Assessment for Learning (2010-2014) aims to develop teachers' assessment practices through increased knowledge and understanding of assessment, as a tool for learning (Utdanningsdirektoratet, 2011). The demand for closer monitoring of students, in line with the Assessment for Learning intentions, can be experienced as time-consuming for teachers. As Hattie and Timperley (2007) point out the use of ICT can be implemented to support teachers' assessment work. The project was limited in focus to assessment in relation to the use of feedback and with emphasis on further learning development. The use of documentation in the Vocational Specialization subject (Prosjekt til fordypning), has several purposes, but is mainly used by those who want to know what students have actually worked with and learnt from their in-depth study (Utdanningsdirektoratet, 2010).

Example of student work

The digital tool, OneNote, opens up possibilities by combining student's documentation work and teacher's assessment work. The action study has been based on a qualitative approach implementing methods of observation, interviews and document studies, to examine how students and teachers experience using OneNote for documentation and assessment for learning.
The varied research methods and the two perspectives, student and teacher, provided the foundation for a triangulation to validate findings. The basis for the analysis and the chosen design options for educational purposes, are perspectives on computer supported collaborative learning, theories of assessment, as well as theories of learning and reflection.

The data were collected, categorized and analyzed using OneNote. The action project was divided into three action periods conducted during the five months from November 2012 to March 2013.

The result of the study shows that digital tools can facilitate feedback as an integrated part of student's educational activities. OneNote as a tool for documentation gave opportunities for sharing information, substantial possibilities for storage and for extensive use of modalities. OneNote as a tool for feedback gave opportunities for frequent feedback directly related to the students' work. The pupil and teacher perspective elevates the use of documentation and feedback. OneNote can advantageously be utilized to increase learning activities and learning through assessment. OneNote can be used for computer supported collaborative learning based on the socio-cultural learning perspective. As a contribution to the field of ICT and learning the findings from the study support the use of OneNote for documentation and evaluation. Result of the study confirmed that digital literacy among students and teachers, as well as close monitoring by the teacher, is essential in digital learning environments (Kop & Hill, 2008; Krumsvik, 2011; Vavik & Arnesen, 2012).
