Superintendent Doherty introduced RMHS teachers Kerry Gallagher, Annemarie <br />Cory and Janet Dee who will be sharing information regarding the use of technology <br />in their classrooms. <br />Ms. Cory explained apps like Evernote, Skitch, and Notability have made content and <br />class resources easier to share with her students. The workflow is much improved <br />and there are fewer papers for students to lose now that they can complete and save <br />much of their work on mobile devices. <br />She is currently using a Class Weebly homepage that links to shared notebooks on <br />Evernote and each class has a share folder on Evernote that contains all the <br />documents and assignments her students will need. When she is supporting students <br />who have mobile devices in a co- taught class, students can use ScanDoc HD to scan <br />class documents into PDF and then send them to the shared Evernote folder. The use <br />of technology in the class has made note taking much easier for students that have <br />learning disabilities. Notability allows students to take notes and either put them in <br />the shared Evernote folder or email them home. This is helpful if a student is absent, <br />or the parent/academic support teacher needs notes to support the student. <br />Mrs. Gallagher and Parker Webb, RMHS student, demonstrated how apps like <br />QRReader, Socrative, Educreations, Animoto and a few others have allowed students <br />to create original and engaging work that demonstrates learning. Students are using <br />variety of devices in the classroom. Methods of accessing information for each <br />device had to be created. She is using the QRReader in her classroom that allows <br />students to access the information for the particular unit they are working on. <br />Mr. Webb shared that using the QR codes will bring the student directly to the <br />website. The codes are posted on the classroom walls, students scan and all the <br />information they need is brought up. <br />Mrs. Gallagher reviewed several other apps the students have used to watch <br />documentaries, take notes and create presentations. <br />The use of mobile devices are changing the workflow in class, the sharing of <br />resources in co- taught classes, home - school communication to absent students or <br />parents, the way students access content, how they watch and discuss documentaries, <br />what it means to doodle in class and how students prove what they have learned. <br />Mrs. Gallagher and Ms. Cory said it is important to continue to network and share <br />ideas with others that are using paperless classrooms. <br />Mr. Webb likes the paperless classroom and the use of apps to accomplish so much <br />more than paper and pencil learning. <br />II.
