produced a short DVD on starting life
at Haybridge.
The result was so professional that
we included copies in the Prospectus
for Open Evening.

A tool for teaching and learning, not an end in itself.
Technology can:
Provide a focus for both independent and collaborative
learning
Create a buzz
Allow students to learn independently, at their own
pace
Require the application of higher order thinking skills –
the need to select, try, apply, prioritise, reflect,
evaluate and synthesise multiple strands of
information and ideas
Provide a ‘real life’ context for learning
Haybridge High School
Keep it simple, keep it focused, keep it pacy

Exploring collaborative learning through Google Notebooks in Maths and English
Haybridge High School
What is Google Notebooks?
Google Notebooks is an online and interactive ‘scratch pad’
Users can login and share their notebook with others, allowing for collaborative, interactive research and study
The notebook is saved online and can be edited and exported into any number of formats including Word documents, web pages and PDF documents…
Haybridge High School
What benefits have we discovered?
Students have total and final control over the finished product, empowering and boosting confidence.
It develops students’ critical faculties, they are constantly involved in self and peer assessment.
Higher order thinking skills are perpetually being utilised, as students must evaluate, reason and develop.
Teacher input is minimal.
Haybridge High School
What other outcomes are there?
To be published as a book at the end of the project Websites are available for self-publishing in a range of formats
Transfer work from Google Notebook to Google Docs where the
format can be edited and then exported as a PDF to a publishing
website (for example, www.lulu.com)
Collaboration with similar students from other
schools is made easy
As everything is done online, students do not have to be,
physically, anywhere near each other to be able to work
together
