I think having students track the development of their own ideas, as well as the suggestions provided by peers and teachers, in such a visible way is going to put them in good stead to develop metacognitive skills, especially about how they learn. If we are able to support students to become active learners who are able to diagnose the barriers to their own learning and to develop strong thinking strategies, we are effectively building their capacity to engage in a world that is rapidly changing and increasingly complex. So I’m all for developing a culture of note-taking and committing ideas to paper in the classroom.
