Testing Notaland.com

I’m thinking of using Notaland.com in my Year 11 History class this semester. It lets you put together scrap-book like pages, where you can add videos from YouTube or pictures from Flickr and lots of other things. You can also leave comment on people’s pages.

My thoughts are that my students could create a page for each week of the semester to summarise what they have learnt. They can find relevant videos etc and I can comment on their pages each week, as well as get them to comment on their classmates pages. A different and much more interactive way of ‘taking notes’ and keeping summaries that might help with end of term assessment.

This is a page I put together for tomorrow’s lesson as a way of presenting to them and showing them to application. I’m not known for my graphic design skills

Let me know what you think of the ideas and if you’ve used this application before. Thanks!

P.S – Hmm, it seems that the embedding code is not working for the moment so here is a screen shot of what my page looks like – and here is the link to the actual page: http://notaland.com/jessmcculloch/26192
