I've lost what I entered here twice now, so third time needs to be the charm!<br /><br />I have class lists on which I track major projects and I have a column for Notes in which I make a check mark. <br /><br />I do INB checks every two weeks, and I try to write ~ 4 notes per class per INB check. That way I get through everybody but it's still manageable.<br /><br />Whining about not getting a note is fantastic! It tells me that a kid cares. It flags them for me and I know I need to notice something magnificent they did, which is easy once I've been primed.<br /><br />Hope that is helpful. Thanks for commenting!<br /><br />- Elizabeth (@cheesemonkeysf)cheesemonkeysfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311170815422010013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779271385256625533.post-88250554123253181292014-02-17T05:54:52.529-08:002014-02-17T05:54:52.529-08:00I love this idea, and want to implement something ...I love this idea, and want to implement something similar; it will work especially well in the multi-level inclusion Geometry class I am working with this term. My question is this - how do you make sure - or do you keep track of - you are acknowledging everyone? Or as many students as possible? How many notes are you sending? I have 165 students, and I notice a lot that I don't always get to comment on, so the notes are a great idea. My concern is the students who DON'T receive notes but may perceive themselves 'deserving' of one. I'd love to hear how you can deal with this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779271385256625533.post-53297234188596998692014-01-28T16:22:52.856-08:002014-01-28T16:22:52.856-08:00I like this a lot.

Students LOVE it when I do this. I like the way yours is a lot more personalized though and could be used for anything.
