What Do the Students Say?"I liked those projects because we were allowed to be creative, which made the process of writing in Spanish a lot easier/more interesting. This is also probably the reason I was motivated to excel in them- I enjoyed creating my own story, so I wanted to make sure my final product was the best it could be." - Camille Hartley

Hugh MacLeod“Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten. Then when you hit puberty they take the crayons away and replace them with dry, uninspiring books on algebra, history, etc. Being suddenly hit years later with the 'creative bug' is just a wee voice telling you, 'I'd like my crayons back, please.'”

Reflections: Some Frustrations Too much time spent on “artistic endeavors” when students are using Notability in class. Training Time on DropBox ePortfolios and Notabillity file-naming conventions

Main Takeaways Students are more engaged and feel more accountable when they’re recording their speech! I have to train students about “hands off” timewhen they should stow their iPads. iPad-based homework assignments tend to get higher completion percentages. If using DropBox eportfolios, it’s wonderful to be able to link to stellar student samples on your LMS work
