I disagree. Think about the implications of using an app v. pen + paper. I assume the device would need to remain unlocked, have notifications turned off (e.g. email), and the screen isn't currently synched with a projector among other assumptions. Are these reasonable? If so, can you elaborate on what you're envisioning for both scenarios (app v. pen)?

In either case, the instructor would need training to do the actions discretely. Waiting for a teacher to go jot down any notes is annoying.

  A teacher would need training to explain class participation and write a checkmark? Students are too clever to not notice. There's nothing to hide.

    Yes, a teacher would need training for this. Did you read the article linked? One of the initial points was praise for the teacher addressing a kids behavior without the rest of the class noticing. This isn't something that is just natural. It is a skill that is built. Some people have just been building it for so long that it seems natural

      Huh? This sub-thread isn't about ways to correct student behavior (Doug Lemov article). We're talking about the NARST article, which explicitly lists a process where you call on students, using a roster. There's nothing discreet about that.

        Right, I'm saying for this to be effective and not a distraction, training it would large boon.
