RESOURCE DESCRIPTION

Give a brief description of the technology/resource.

This application provides a creative way for students to assemble an online note portfolio. It is available on any platform, which is
great so the students can even use it on their phones of any brand. You use your email address to make an account, so you may
reach your notes from any device available.

INTEGRATION IDEA - PORTFOLIOS

How might you use this resource in a lesson plan to promote student-centered learning?

I might use this in my lesson plans as a formative assessment by having them create a note portfolio on a literary unit and then
turning them in with me for grading. It would make their notes more legible and be a great organization tool. It also makes it
harder to lose their notes for when it comes time to turn them in. This application helps them organize their learning in their own
fun way and I love it.

I rate this application a 3! I am actually very excited to make my own account and see how this works in the classroom. I think this
application makes notes more engaging, and it is possible more students would participate in lectures if they were able to utilize
