Movenote
Submitted by Lisa Sobb of Sylvania Southview High School
URL:
https://www.movenote.com/
How a teacher could use this resource in their classroom:
I use Movenote in class for a variety of reasons. It is a website that will allow a student or teacher to record him or herself at the same time as they are giving a presentation. The website records their presentation and video of the student speaking. It can be used for students who are shy or have circumstances that make it impossible for them to present in front of the class, or can be used by teachers for a flipped classroom model. It can also be used as a quick way to do a formative speaking assessment. It is a website, but also is available as an app.
This resource would be of most use for teachers of:
Any grade level
Cost to use this resource:
Free, with some options for paid subscriptions
This resource would be best for:
collecting presentational speaking samples, flipped classroom,
Other comments:
I have a student-friendly walkthrough for this website as well. Please don't hesitate to email me at LSobb@sylvaniaschools.org if you'd like this document!

How a teacher could use this resource in their classroom:
Students can upload work to keep items organized and self monitor their growth. We all know that papers get lost. This website helps keep everything neatly organized.
Teachers can also create a professional development eportfolio to track all professional development needed for teacher evaluations and licenses renewal. I would like to explore this and start one for myself.
This resource would be of most use for teachers of:
Any grade level
Cost to use this resource:
Free, with some options for paid subscriptions
This resource would be best for:
collecting presentational writing samples, collecting interpersonal writing samples, collecting interpretive reading samples, collecting interpretive listening samples, organizing or hosting digital student work samples, I believe one can upload audio files
Other comments:
I created a Live Binder while studying for my Master's but that has been at least 4 years ago. I liked the idea and ease of use. I'm sure there are many, more updated features. As mentioned I think I'll play around with the live binder again by making myself a professional binder.
