Hi everyone, I'm Jinqi, a teacher at Zhiqing Elementary School.
Today I want to share with you a feature in Goodnotes Classroom that I've been really enjoying, especially in my Mandarin Chinese classes where it's been quite useful.
Here's how I use it - you can see on my tablet I have a PDF file that I provide to the students. When they're working on this, each student has the file on their own tablet and they'll collaborate in small groups to create their own little scripts and narratives.
In the past, we might have had students come up one-by-one to project their work, but with Goodnotes Classroom, it's so much better. I can just click on a page and in the presentation mode, select to share the presenter's view. This way, the other students can see each other's work, but it preserves the privacy of their individual creations.
When I click on a page, the students' work pops up, and we can go through it together, discussing whether the dialogue, sound effects, and plot development meet the learning objectives. We'll talk through one piece, then move on to the next.
I've found this interactive approach really helps me stay focused on the actual teaching, rather than just logistics. So I'd definitely recommend this method to other teachers - it gives that collaborative sharing while respecting the students' privacy.
