Student Note-taking Using Infopics

In case you missed it on my Twitter or Google+ profiles, this is a great post from Tony Vincent.  He sharing a "newer" concept for student note-taking.  He shares several app suggestions and how each app works.  He also gives some great tips and design suggestions that are very helpful for students.  This video is so well put together, that you could have students preview it for themselves and watch them takeoff with creativity, meanwhile making meaning of your classroom content.
