What are Shared Notes for Each Student?
With Shared Notes for Each Student, a separate note is automatically created for each student, and teachers can view all student notes simultaneously from one screen.
In addition, when the teacher grants permission, students can view or edit other students’ notes while they are working. This makes peer review and collaborative learning easy to implement.
Student Sharing Permissions
*Teachers can always view and edit student notes regardless of the setting.
No Shared: students cannot view or edit other students’ notes.
View Only: students can view other students’ notes but cannot edit them, such as adding cards.
Writable: students can both view and edit other students’ notes.

The teacher sends a set of topic cards.
Students decide their own “territory” within the note.
The teacher reads a prompt aloud, and students quickly move the matching cards into their territory.
The student who collects the most cards wins.
Tips
The card themes can be adapted for many subjects, such as: Historical figures, English vocabulary, Multiplication tables, and Chemical elements.
Monitor Group Activities in Real Time
For lessons such as experiments or inquiry-based activities where each group progresses at a different pace, teachers can use Shared Notes for Each Student to monitor all groups simultaneously.
As with group work, students join one member’s note with the sharing setting set to Editable, allowing collaborative work to begin immediately while the teacher observes each group’s progress at any time.

Create Shared Notes for Each Student with the sharing setting set to View Only.
Students create their opinions, ideas, or projects within their notes.
Students use questionnaire cards or comment cards to leave feedback on each other’s work.

Tips
Even in View Only mode, students can still respond to test cards and questionnaire cards.
This allows students to comment on classmates’ work without accidentally modifying or disrupting it.
Change Sharing Settings for Specific Students Only
In addition to changing the overall sharing settings, teachers can also modify sharing permissions for specific student notes individually.
This allows students to view or edit only their own note and selected classmates’ notes.
Steps to Share Specific Student Notes
Set the overall sharing setting to No Sharing.
Click the “…” next to the target student’s note name to open the sharing settings window.
Change the selected note’s sharing setting to View Only or Editable.
