Hi everyone! Remember last year’s eTip, where we showed you a variety of ways to fully utilise the various Microsoft tools (especially OneNote) that will help students through the writing process, as well as simple ways to help you provide effective and timely feedback to students?
This month, we are introducing you to two NEW OneNote features that will help you to motivate your students to contribute and document feedback so that the students can move forward.
1. Motivate your students to contribute through the use of stickers in OneNote
Ever had some students not contributing? Or students who will do just the bare minimum? Now, with the new stickers feature, I have found my students to be more engaged in the lesson as they would like to receive as many stickers as possible. This might be extrinsic motivation, but at least that’s a start!
The good thing about these stickers is that there is not only a variety of cute ones to choose from, but the text can also be edited to suit the context! This helps the students know exactly what they have done right! Watch the video below (2.30 – 3.52) to see how easy it is to add and edit these stickers available in OneNote Online!
2. Document feedback to move the students forward through the use of Audio Recording in OneNote
I am sure we have all been in a situation (or many) when we have given verbal feedback to the students, but they may have forgotten bits of information. Sometimes, we will not know it until they have submitted their revised work, and at other times, they might come to us again to clarify what they have missed.
If you have been in any (or both) of the above situations, you would be pleased to know that OneNote now has a recording function! Recording feedback has never been easier!
Check out the video below for a quick guide on how to record what you want to say and replay the feedback given!
Hope these two features assist you in giving ‘fun’ and useful feedback to your students!
