Documentation of Learning

Usually when I review an article regarding tech tools, I read the text and navigate through the links embedded in the article in order to experiment with an application. This article was a bit different (nothing dramatic) so I wanted to post about it because I really liked the quick video that was included. Articles become much more "educational" when they have auditory and visual support to compliment the text. Let's apply this to the classroom....Imagine student notebooks that are comprised not only of text and handouts, but sound and video - how much more impactful would it be when documenting their learning? I have been encouraging students with access to technology to take notes in creative formats for future reference but teachers need to support the notion as well. Is this format going to be the future of documentation of learning?
