Abstract
The research question addressed in this study was: To what extent does the integration of iPads in secondary school classrooms impact students’ writing proficiency and learning achievement, especially during the note-taking process? The topics reviewed in the literature include the difficulties students face with writing, how poor writing skills impact overall proficiency as well as learning achievement, and the various methods of note-taking, starting with the pen-and-paper method leading to digital note-taking. The website created for the project focuses on informing teachers about different writing strategies and note-taking methods to help students increase their writing skills during the note-taking process. The website includes a facilitation guide for teaching three different note-taking methods, graphic organizers for download, an interactive notebook for download via Google Slides, and an open discussion board for teachers to converse about more strategies. The website aims to help teachers effectively integrate iPads into their classrooms and teach students explicit strategies that actively engage them in the learning process. Thus, it hopes to increase students' writing skills and overall learning achievement.
