I believe learning is powerful when it is relevant to the learner and the learner "connects the dots" themself. Notebooking helps learners connect the dots by recording ideas in a way that makes it easier to recall, reflect,  reorganize, and record outcomes. From the perspective of the teachers, notebooks make it easier for the teacher to "see" where students are at in the process in order to help guide the student in the right direction.

A powerful learning experience has students question what they already know and creates a drive to find out more. It also prompts a desire to improve/create change. A notebook is the space where the student records his/her thinking in this process.

A powerful learning does not kill the joy of learning, but instead leaves you wanting more. So much so that you seek it out on your own and no longer depend on others to attain knowledge and understanding

Characteristics of Powerful Learning:
Engaging
Authentic
Multi-modal

Notetaking contributes to powerful learning by allowing students to organize their thoughts, to brainstorm new ideas, and to create a reference point for them to refer back to as the learning progresses.

# data[].attributes.body
Notebooking contributes to powerful learning by having students actively engaged in lessons. Students are able to take notes, write down diagrams, charts and informational material for future reference. It also helps students be neat and organized during classroom activities.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe note booking is a powerful organizational skill that allows students to keep all their continued work in one place. Students can see their progress as they advance and can always revisit past topics rather than having to rummage through their backpacks. Also, this engaging activity helps students own their learning by creating the notebook to their own linking in terms of colors, drawings, formatting, and overall design. By having this continuous stream of knowledge at their disposal allows them to make connections to prior material and truly show how powerful note booking can be in the learning process.

Characteristics of a powerful learning experience:
1. Fun and engaging
2. Students are able to make a connection to the real world / their lives.
Notebooking can make learning personal and fun by allowing them to be creative.

# data[].attributes.body
A powerful learning experience starts with a powerful and engaged teacher. This allows students to be engaged and eager to learn within their classroom community. Students know when teachers are not prepared or do not  enjoy teaching. Having fun engaging lessons is the key to success within the classroom. Note taking allows students to memorize and become more familiar with the content learned and find their own strategies that help them succeed within the classroom while note taking.

# data[].attributes.body
Notebooking fosters ownership of learning.  Students have a spot where they place what they have learned.  They organize it, they make the information/data theirs. They have the opportunity to illustrate and revise what they have put in their journal.  Notebooking is interactive, it's engaging/hands-on.  We use doodle notes/sketchnotes so they get a chance to draw and color in their notebook.  The more they do with the information in their notebook, the more they create, the more knowledge they retain, and because it's their creation, their thoughts, there’s more student buy-in.

# data[].attributes.body
Powerful learning involves students having an opportunity to work with the material in a variety of ways and make connections with past knowledge. The more actively they can interact with it, the more they can understand it. Notebooks give students the space to do this. They can draw models, create summaries, add prior knowledge, assess their own learning, etc. Physically writing these things down incorporates more parts of their brain and helps them retain the information.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe a powerful learning experience is one that connects to prior knowledge and paves the way for things to come. I think notebooks provide students with a unique way to engage with new information multiple times and in various ways. Each notebook interaction creates new pathways back to those same pieces of information and each interaction is also making that information all that more accessible.

Powerful learning experiences are memorable, engaging, and personal. These experiences make life-long impact and build foundations in which students are able to explore on their own.

For powerful learning to take place, I believe that it has to catch and keep the attention of the student, leaving a lasting image in their minds.  A lesson so powerful that it leaves the students asking for more. Notebooking contributes to powerful learning by giving students access to the knowledge they will need to understand and be successful.

# data[].attributes.body
Characteristics of powerful learning:
1. Student interest level
2. Engaging
3. Students understanding that there is a reason to know what we are teaching.

Notebooks contribution:
I feel that note taking can be very powerful if done correctly. It helps students make connections that they can see and reflect with. It is also vital in helping students to learn how to be organized. I also think it is a great tool for teachers to check in with students and see how they are doing understanding new concepts.

# data[].attributes.body
Engagement strategies and real world application of the concept leads to a powerful learning experience. Notebooking contributes to powerful learning because it gives students access to their thinking throughout the learning experience. They are able to see how their thoughts and new learnings to contribute to new understandings.

1. I believe a powerful learning experience includes the following characteristics:
engaging
variety of modalities used
incorporated senses
leads to questioning
allows for collaboration & sharing of ideas
2. Using a SMN helps a child to think through new information. It's a place for students to "unpack" their ideas, make illustrations and note key points to build knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, characteristics of a powerful experience include students asking questions and making connections. When students ask clarifying questions, that proves to me that they are making sense of what is being taught. Notebooks allow students to think critically and make sense of their own thinking. How? By allowing students to express themselves artistically (drawings) and  in written form. Notebooks help students keep track of their thinking which results in amazing discussions. 😁

Engagement, conversation,  checking for understanding, reflection.
Notebooks allow students to track progress, reflect, and predict.

Notebooking allows students to organize their thoughts and gather information through out the learning process to be able to make connections during the learning process.

Notebooks are a tool that encourage students to record and organize their learning and thoughts. Which can then be used for reflection and growth of knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
Powerful learning experiences include failure and revision. If one is motivated, failure helps to spur you on to achieve. Notebooks contribute to powerful learning because students record their thoughts and ideas, whether right or wrong, and they can return to their thoughts to reflect on previous failures to increase their cognitive learning.

Characteristics of a powerful learning experience :

Notebooks allow students the opportunity to record and reflect on observations and investigations and communicate their understanding of concepts.

Notebooks allow teachers and students to process science. Structuring lessons in meaningful experiences and then creating a sense making space of those experiences that creates good science teaching practices.

# data[].attributes.body
For me, the characteristics of a powerful learning experience are engagement, hands-on, and forming a connection to what a students already knows (or thinks they know)
Notebooks contribute to powerful learning by allowing the students to take ownership of their progress through the content.

1. accessing students prior knowledge
2. Use conceptual frameworks to guide learning
3. Teach students how to organize and understand their unique learning process.
