Writing isn’t the production of alphabetic text and print alone.
Writing is multimodal.
Learning isn’t the production of text or print, either.
Learning is a process, and when we’re able to share our thinking as we move through it, the resulting products are usually better for it.
Thoughtful learners use multimodal notebooks to make their learning visible. They share their reflections, discoveries, and the solutions they’re creating…bit by bit…using the modes of expression that allow them to express the full complexity of their thinking, learning, and evolving work.
This course, comprised of three modules, prepares teachers to serve K-12 learners well as they create and share multimodal thinking notebooks.
What are multimodal thinking notebooks? You’ll find a growing list of examples, which I’m displaying in the video above, here.
Check out the answers to those that are most frequently asked, below. If I can help you more, please contact me. I’ll be happy to answer any question that isn’t addressed here.
This course is comprised of three learning modules which may be completed in a self-paced, asynchronous fashion. Each module attends to the following outcomes:
Module 1: Using Multimodal Expression to Document Our Thinking, Learning, and Work
Module 2: Multimodal Thinking Notebooks and Assessment Congruence
Module 3: Elevating the Quality of Students’ Thinking, Learning, and Work
You may also choose to wrap live, instructor-led sessions around any or all of these modules. Contact Angela to customize these sessions and schedule them at a time that is most convenient for you and/or your staff. Purchase orders are accepted, and off-site registration and invoicing are available as well.
This module will prepare participants to address the following questions in the context of their own environment:

When Does This Course Begin?
If you are registering independently, all three course modules will become available on September 11, 2020. Live meetups for individuals not participating with a district will begin the week of November 2, 2020. You will receive an email survey one week prior, asking you to share your availability. We will meet at a mutually agreed-upon time.
If you are participating with other members of your organization, check with your administrators or contact Angela to clarify your schedule. This will also be shared at your welcome meeting.

Yes, with the approval of your administrator. This course requires ten clock hours. Contact Angela to learn more and arrange to obtain a certificate of completion. In most cases, evidence of knowledge application will be necessary to verify that learning was completed.

What is the difference between an individual registration and a site license?
A site license provides access to an entire building staff, while an individual registration is for one person.
What is the difference between the self-paced option and the upgraded option?
The self-paced option includes three learning sessions that may be completed anytime and anywhere. They do not require any level of interactivity, and Angela does not engage with users.
The upgraded course option includes the three self-paced learning sessions as well as additional live, interactive discussions facilitated by Angela. Here, users may debrief their thinking and learning and seek feedback on their work. Schools and other organizations may schedule these for individuals or an entire staff.
If you are registering independently of your school system, our first round of live sessions begins the week of November 2nd. Invite to follow, one week prior to our start. You may begin the course at any time prior to our first meetup. Please try to complete the first session by then.
What if I'm unhappy with this course?
You have fifteen days from the point of purchase to request a full refund.
Will you share my contact information?
Never.
How am I expected to engage in this space?
If you are participating in the self-paced course, there is no option or expectation for engagement.
If you are participating in facilitated sessions, please arrive on time for our scheduled meetings, contribute to our learning, and support other group members by pushing their thinking in ways that encourage and elevate our conversations.
What are the technology requirements for this course?
You must have a device that allows you to consume digital course content, and if you intend to participate in our interactive meetings, you must have a device with a camera and microphone in order to fully participate.

Know that if you are enrolling as a district or school participant, the content for the course remains the same, but your pacing and live session options will be customized, based on the needs and interests of your staff.
