In our middle school science program we use science notebooks. This becomes a document that the students take great pride and ownership in. One of the biggest challenges for our department has been how to move this document to a digital format allowing students to archive all work while allowing us to grade and give feedback in a digital format. We began using OneNote and with Skydrive and we had a very dynamic way to duplicate a pencil and paper tool to digital. However as we move to iPads a useful version of OneNote is not available. We spent some time with Evernote feeling that it was the best option, but after some trial runs feel that the time spent in development and the difficulty in sharing 150 notebooks with the teacher did not seem to be the best choice. So to answer the blog question, we are looking to My Big Campus and its bundle capabilities to create notebooks next year.
I know there are a lot of tools available, but since we have decided to use the My Big Campus platform as a corporation we feel that using a uniform way to create a science notebook would be the best option.
