[LM_NET] HIT: Electronic notetaking

[Pam Gelbmann <pam.gelbmann@COMCAST.NET>]

I got back 2 replies and a request for a hit so maybe this is not a common topic .
Or I am venturing into unexplored territory with elementary students?  Anybody else 
have any thoughts on the topic? Is this too soon to introduce electronic note 
taking? Is there  a transition from paper pencil note taking to electronic note 
taking? 

One suggestion was a subscription to Noodle tools and using their note taking 
forms. It looks more complicated to me than I think my students could handle.

MicroSoft OneNote comes with some computers but we are a Mac school and I would 
want to see the product before I invest in that software.

Another suggestion was to use PowerPoint slides to keep track of notes, with each 
slide being a topic. My concern is that the final product will be a PowerPoint and 
will the note taking then  transfer to other projects?

Inspiration and Kidspiration look to have some possibilities  but I wonder about 
filling in enough details. 

If you have used either Inspiration or PowerPoint  for note taking, please reply 
with your experience especially if you have intermediate grade students
