The Spiral Notebook app provides educators with a powerful tool to digitally capture, annotate, and review classroom artifacts -- including images, videos, and digital files -- which together offer rich multimedia evidence of teaching and learning in classrooms. Expanding upon the value of hardcopy portfolios, the Spiral Notebook app simplifies the process of collecting and organizing artifacts and streamlines their sharing so that teachers can collaborate with colleagues and coaches to support professional growth.
Developed by and for educators, the mobile iOS and Android apps complement a web portal for viewing and reflecting on evidence of instruction. The Spiral Notebook app was designed with the unique ability among portfolios to support science teachers in vertically aligning NGSS core ideas and practices that spiral, with expanding depth, through grade bands.
