Creating student journals

A student journal is a digital record of key information that was covered during class. During a typical class, all appropriate items relating to the subject can be captured and automatically included in a PDF file for review by each student. The student journal also offers a welcome summary for any students who were absent from a lesson as well as a structured summary of activity for you.

NOTE: A PDF Reader is required to view the student journal.

The student journal allows you to store the following activities ready for a student to review after class:

Lesson details and objectives

Teacher and individual student notes

Screenshots from within a presentation and supporting explanation

Class or group survey results

Virtual whiteboard screens

Individual student test results

URLs of Web sites used during the lesson

Copies of any class Chat transcripts

Messages sent to students

To start student journals:

1.Click the Journal icon on the top toolbar, and then select Start Journal.

2.In the Start Journal window, enter the teacher name and lesson title, and then click OK. Information automatically begins collecting and is saved as a PDF file.
