This is helpful for me when I want to share progress notes with a student’s classroom teacher. To do this, go to “Settings” and “Manage Accounts.” It will prompt you to “Log In” to your accounts and then “Accept” the app sharing permissions. With Notability, you can share specific notes via email, Dropbox, or Google Drive.

(NOTE: If a PDF running record form is not available, and I’m doing “on the fly” running records, I just use a generic running record PDF form, or I snap a photo of the text and mark errors/substitutions right on the digital image of the page!) Sharing Notes It’s a powerful tool for analyzing and comparing reading skills quarter-to-quarter. The students can listen back on their reading to self-assess and reflect, OR you can use it for your progress notes.

While recording, the app keeps track of the time it takes for the student to read, so I can calculate a quick wpm score in the end, too. Not only am I be spared from making hundreds of copies of running record forms, but I can use the microphone feature to record the audio of each student reading, as well. These include phonemic awareness screenings, sight word assessments, F & P optional assessments, phonics word lists, fluency speed drills, and running records.Īdministering digital running records is my favorite perk of using Notability for data collection. I complete most of my diagnostic/skill assessments and progress monitoring digitally on Notability using PDF forms. It also saves me from having to sift through one giant progress notes document. I typically create a new “note” to record anecdotals each quarter per student.Įven though it adds to the number of notes in the student folders, I’m easily able to find my progress notes for each marking period (which is especially helpful when writing report cards, etc.).

I can easily save the student work I wish to archive by importing files from my “DropItTOMe” folder in Dropbox. I snap photos of writing and anything that has not yet made it to my paperless world however, now that we’re in March and more of my program is paperless, I have students submit screenshots of the work they do on the iPads (e.g., graphic organizers, notes, annotated texts, etc.) via DropItTOMe. 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.
