Resource Alert!

A year ago the ITRTs went to a conference and received a rocketbook to take notes in.  I didn't play with it much at the time.  If fact, I gave my notebook away.  Recently, however, on a Google site I follow I was reading a comment by a kindergarten teacher who was lamenting the fact that her students were not allowed to use G-Suit apps.  She had tried out Rocketbook in her classroom with her students.  She bought a couple of notebooks and cut the pages out so that she could give each of her students a couple of pages each to use.  
With Rocketbook you download an app to your phone and then you can draw on a special notebook with a Frixion pen.  You write in the notebook and then scan it with the Rocketbook app.  The app sends a copy of the page straight to one of 7 places.  You decide where to send your page.    Check out the video below on how Rocketbook works.
There are several reusable notebooks out there and I have read the reviews of all of them.  Rocketbook seems to be the best reviewed.
One of the pluses of Rocketbook is that they give you free paper to use.  The free paper of course is not reusable like the notebooks are.  Of course, I think it would still be better than buying a notebook and tearing out the pages as did our kindergarten teacher above.  That could get expensive!

 I have created a page Rocketbook page that I think primary teachers will appreciate.  Print one page out per student and let them write their story and illustrate it.  Then download the app, put in your credentials for Google Drive (or wherever you want the document sent), then as each student finishes, quickly scan the document and send it to your Drive to keep.   To get your copy of this page, click the image to the right.  

I am looking forward to using my Rocketbook app and resources even more.  Look for more resources coming soon!
