What others said about this webinar:

Love the idea of keeping a notebook or file of anecdotes then using those to create a narrative of leaning occurring over time! Also adding teachers voice to videos or photo slide shows to capture learning!
— JO
I love the idea of making notes every week or two and then collating to a more meaningful 'story' after a few months. We do a similar 'learning diary' approach at our centre where we just add to the bottom of the document every month. 
— MARY
Love having a range of ideas to help support our current inquiry to refresh the way we are planning and assessing. The collaborative way for individual plans for children is something I have been thinking about incorporating into our team meeting.
