I think it is important to keep a diary so that we can look back and reflect, as well as keep on track and get our bearings. I use a padlet or diary to keep information organised and I take notes and record facts I have collected, things I don't want to forget and what I want or should do. I need to organise myself so that I can also communicate and progress in an efficient way.

Learning diaries are very helpful, we have used them in postgraduate learning preocesses several times. I have created handwritten ones, but using OneNote seems to be a good idea.

# data[].attributes.body
I keep a handwritten journal / notebook where I write everything I learn from the courses I have taken / I am taking. From those ideas, I devise lesson plans, new ideas that meet my students needs and afterward, I write down reflections on what went well and what can be improved next time, knowing what I know now.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning diaries are really helpful. I have used them in all courses I have had. I like both using online tools and old favourite notebooks to make notes, write down the most important ideas, my thoughts and reflections.

# data[].attributes.body
I use learning diaries in all the MOOCs I attend and they've proved to be very helpful. The truth is that I love hand-written learning diaries where I write down the most important information, make diagrams and maybe draw sketches. I also use digital infographics as learning diaries to organize the "highlights". I will follow the same practice for this MOOC as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I've always taken notes about my projects, about all my activities by handwriting but  for some years I have got into the habit of rearranging my notes in a digital product that is not only the documentation of that  experience but a desire to put order in my thoughts, in my notes. For this experience I've chosen to use a padlet and I've already begun to use it. I've always used this tool but never as a learning diary. At the moment in this LD there are different sections such as : free thoughts-something new-notes-keywords-interesting links-Questions & answers

# data[].attributes.body
I mostly use learning diaries to record my thoughts, feelings and hunches and this helps me shape my behaviour

# data[].attributes.body
I think my diary will be a blend of both digital and hard copy. Sometimes I like to collect info on google docs when I am away from my classroom and even collect voice notes etc. Other times i prefer to make a mind map on paper. It's also handy to use video or even music to connect with an idea or thought....Whichever way we create our diaries it is important to include the different areas of the diary that need to be included such as summaries, observations, questions we have, reflections etc...

# data[].attributes.body
I am an IT teacher and the digital tools are almost limitless. However, I love writing, drawing, scheming, following paths that are not linear, making free-form conection and observations. In two or few... words: I love a white book to fill with my thoughts, imagination, plans, possibilities. So I probably will use both a writing book as well as a digital space to write some notes, reports and organize plans.

# data[].attributes.body
It seems good idea keep your notes in order. I got used to handwriting in post it or doodling in a rough piece of paper. Recently, I found a blend system which allows me create an everopen notebook, with  my raw pieces of paper, so useful to me.
Just now I've discovered  Sutori, thanks Emma and Nektarios.

This learning diary will resume the most important steps of this learning path In this first week I have identified the purpose and the benefits of action research, discovering the different types of action research.

So many beuatiful ideas shared here on tools to use for online diaries. OneNote, Wakelet, Padlet, Sutori and more. I personally combine both handwritten notes, which give a personal twist & instant brainstorming, and a digital diary to record formally the process.

# data[].attributes.body
I prefer the paper-based diary because you can use it wherever you are. Especially if some ideas come to your mind at school. Maybe then I will transfer it to the digital diary. I don't know yet.

# data[].attributes.body
When I started the course on Monday I immediately opened a Wakelet collection called Action research and this will serve as my digital learning diary. I have already added some links, pictures, screenshots and my thoughts and first draft ideas for my action research.

# data[].attributes.body
If it's digital, it's easier to find what you need. But sometimes handwriting is faster. I use both methods.

# data[].attributes.body
I shall keep up with the paper-based diary, as for an immediate use in class, and shall transfer it electronically, at a later point

# data[].attributes.body
I have used a digital learning diary when taking the eTw Ambassadors course. Otherwise, I use Samsung Notes from my phone to keep a record of my ideas and info. Here I think I will use a Google Docs, or maybe Canva, as well. I am planning to insert there all the valuable ideas I come across, all my students' reflections and thoughts. I think I will write there as many times as necessary and whenever I find an inspirational idea.

# data[].attributes.body
I have used both a handwritten and a digital learning diary. I think that in this course I will use a digital learning diary and I will include all the notes I take during the implementation of the research. I will also include my planning and design of the research. It is crucial to keep writing down on the diary everyday. Even though we might think that what we are writing it is not important, we must acknowledge that it might be crucial for us later.

# data[].attributes.body
As mentioned previously by colleagues, I, too, have used Learning Diaries in the European Schoolnet Academy and School Education Gateway MOOCs I have attended, as well as in other courses. I have used various web tools to organize material, and collect information relevant to the courses.
The LD I am keeping for the process of research in this course is on Wakelet

# data[].attributes.body
I'm using OneNote and Office 365 for file storing, sharing and realtime collaboration. In covid 19 period it was essential part and my prefered way of collaboration and working

# data[].attributes.body
I keep a learning diary using Google Docs. I both take notes from the notes written on the course page, I also include some useful information which I think it would be useful in the future. I also use Symbaloo to make a collection of useful links.

# data[].attributes.body
I will keep a handwritten learning journal to document my planning and research process. I am not very familiar with Padlet but through this process I am learning so I may use Padlet as well!

# data[].attributes.body
With major courses I always keep a learning diary as I was taught in my first EUN course. I am still proud of my first LD  (https://padlet.com/stasele_riskien/padlet1) and often refer to it reflecting on my professional career. However, in later courses I started using Notes on my iPad/iPhone because of the two very important aspects: the search (every word is included in it) and that it travels with me whenever I change a device (it's stored on iCloud). For every course or learning event I start a new folder and all my ideas are there.

# data[].attributes.body
When keepign a diary of reflections I combine the written form and digital form. Usually I write down ideas, quotes or doodles on paper, but then it's transferred to digital format where I always include links to articles, video, infographics and anything I think is relevant. I will probably use Wakelet as it is easy to use and visually appealing.

# data[].attributes.body
When observing my students, or writing down reflections on a project that is delivered at school, I would prefer  a hand written diary.  It would help me express my thoughts and feelings.  I use also digital diaries (like padlet or google docs), but mostly for keeping links, or files concerning a specific project that is implemented in school.

# data[].attributes.body
I am used to exploit different tools, both handwritten diary and digital one.
I am going to use Google drive, so to able to take notes and, if necessary, to share it.

# data[].attributes.body
I find the easiest way to keep a diary is by handwriting in a notebook. I just scribble important information to save time. However, in a group, I tend to be more organized and I also enjoy using digital apps.

# data[].attributes.body
I always keep recordings of events, observations, reflections, plans… so this comes natural to me. I use different methods and formats, depending on the data I’m collecting and the purpose. I have a special notebook for seminars, conferences or workshops, for example; another one for Erasmus+ activities; yet another for school related projects/plans/meetings… I never start a project/plan without drafting its complete idea on paper, just sketches and arrows and numbers, that I keep moving around, erasing and writing all over again.

The same with all online MOOCs or courses I do – I keep digital diaries (just word docs, really, in different files) of all courses I attended so far. Sometimes I create a Padlet with all info, just to have a sort of a diagram of the activities done.

So, in what concerns this course, I believe I will do the same and keep several diaries, depending on what I’m doing at the moment. For sure I will keep my drafts on paper when I am creating my action plan. J

Following what Nektarios has written earlier, I also use Learning Diaries during the MOOCs in SEG and EUN. I used to do it in padlet walls with different sections. Then, I discovered adobe spark. Keeping notes, useful links, videos organised in different sections according to the modules, helped me afterwards to write my Learning Scenarios. So, I will do the same again, not forgeting also to hand-write any ideas or questions when I won't have access on my digital Learning Diary.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that I will use both hand-written and digital research diary. As digital learning diary I will use maybe Padlet or Google.doc.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm going to keep digital learning diary using OneNote as this picture shows. I'll collect all information, links, thoughts and ideas I find useful and sort them on different pages.

# data[].attributes.body
I have participated in many EUN MOOCs and always the learning diaries help me remember the most important moments and elements of every lesson.
I am using Sutori which is an easy to use free app suitable for learning diaries. In the diary, I try to keep all my posts and some useful links.

My experience with Action Research
A few years ago I was trying to improve the relationships between my students. Action research helped me to identify the real reasons for the problems I and my students were facing. Also, I was able to find and implement a few solutions that improved the relationships between the students.
