The 4Ss of Note-Taking With Technology [from Edutopia]
This column is specifically about digital tools for note-taking, but it also provides a broad framework for evaluating digital tools in a way that does not draw from an either/or fallacy. Instead, the author suggests looking at the old "pen vs. computer" debate through a lens of affordances: supporting students, saving content, searching content, and sharing content. The author dismisses the either/or fallacy by asking, "What if we approach the concept by identifying what is best for individual students?

Permit students to share with peers and teachers?"
