There were those who did the work as strategic students. In other words they filled in the blanks without really thinking about the tool itself. \u00a0(Just tell me how to get my &#8220;A&#8221;, Mr. Elliott.) And there were those who modified the template to do the work. \u00a0Our conclusion was that templates are useful, but only insofar as they help us\u00a0do the intellectual work that needs doing and only insofar as they can be freely modified to do that work. \u00a0They are useful can openers.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty proud of their discussion. \u00a0I find the template as is to be very helpful at the beginning of a new project, but I do have better tools for gathering basic bibliographic information. \u00a0I use Zotero. \u00a0Then I use the &#8220;Notes&#8221; section of Zotero\u00a0along with the template, but I do my first read and annotation with paper copies. \u00a0Sorry trees. \u00a0I know I could do more with tools like Diigo and Hypothes.is, but I get a haptic charge out of using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gouletpens.com\/jinhao-x750-fountain-pen-shimmering-sands-medium\/p\/JIN-X750-Sands\">a fountain pen on paper<\/a> along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gouletpens.com\/platinum-preppy-refillable-highlighter-pink\/p\/Plat-CSCQ-150-74\">pretty highlighting<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gouletpens.com\/platinum-preppy-refillable-marker-black\/p\/Plat-CSIQ-150-01\">marker pens<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a link to the first page of my annotated article: \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/impedagogy.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/articleannotated-2.pdf\">articleannotated 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a screencast from my Zotero account I mention above:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"embedly-card\" data-card-controls=\"1\" data-card-key=\"c45372ca5bbd43b5ad9dc784bd7ad368\">\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=Ip6T4k2SKyc\">Using Zotero with Michael Hyatt&#8217;s Book Insight&#8217;s Template<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Uploaded by TERRY ELLIOTT on 2017-02-20.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/cdn.embedly.com\/widgets\/platform.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>As usual, thinking and doing out loud in the classroom is messy. \u00a0It needs to be. \u00a0We need to habituate good tool use and then we need to rotate in and out among the tools we use, sometimes analog and sometimes digital and sometimes both to keep them fresh AND apt.<\/p>\n<p>I am lucky to have a set of open and free tools that many other folk have developed for all to use.
