Part of my data collection includes student work samples. Next year, I will happily skip this step since I intend to start off the year “paperless.” Student Work Samples This allowed me to get rid of my ridiculously hefty data binder and have all my progress notes together in one spot. Some items I scanned and converted into PDFs, but I just took a photo of the remaining items. Once my folders were set up, I converted my previous notes to a digital format. Additionally, I created an extra folder to organize my RTI schedule, group rosters, and student passwords (for easy-to-access information!). You can edit and reorder the folders, which is especially nice if your groups change, and you can also change the color of the folders. Using the “ +” symbol at the top of my list of notes, I set up individual folders (“subjects”) for my students, and use the dividers to separate my groups. It’s much lighter than my 4-inch binder I used to use for data collection, and now I can easily bring my files home with me each night. I use the notes for parent conferences, data meetings, and quarterly progress reports. You can organize the notes any way that makes sense for you, but I find it’s a great one-spot digital binder of student work samples, audio recordings, and progress notes. All my students have their own color-coded folders in my app, and I organize the folders by RTI tier and grade-level. I use Notability in a different way than my students do. On my teacher iPad, I use the app more for data collection and progress monitoring – collecting informal assessments, archiving student work, and recording anecdotal notes. (Feel free to go back and check out my “ Getting Started” and “ Digital Resources” posts first, especially if you have NO idea what Notability is!) It took me a little while to write this post… but here we go! If you’ve been following my paperless journey, this is the third post of my Notability blogging mini-series! Over the past few months, I’ve received some wonderful feedback (thank you!), including a bunch of emails from readers asking about how I use Notability as a teacher.
