In the past students had difficulty keeping their focus on academic collaboration when using One Note. It was key for me to help the students frame thought-provoking questions in their entries that would invite valuable comments. Also when commenting, it was important that the students knew the difference between social and academic writing. A true educational online collaboration is not about socializing, but about students and teacher helping each other grow in their learning. This was a different writing space than students are accustomed to. At the end of this unit the students had explored other student authored pages, talked about online safety, online identity and cyber bullying and worked together to create a display showcasing their novel study collaboration.
