How to Create a Portfolio with Evernote (Education Series) Bio Rob is a teacher at Trillium Charter School in Portland, where he primarily instructs students aged 8-11. He has been working to develop online portfolios with students for the past six years and has taught in private schools, traditional public schools and public charter schools for the past 15 years. I use Evernote, Everywhere: iPhoneiPod TouchiPadMacWindows E-Portfolios: a student’s project warehouse and progress tracker I started teaching 15 years ago and that is when I first came across this concept of a ‘portfolio.’ Initially, I had my students create paper portfolios. We had a bin where we’d put these documents and at the end of the year, they’d have 10-20 pieces that they’d take with them into the next school year. After spending years with paper portfolios, I’ve transitioned this concept into digital form, and have started to implement Evernote as the primarily system for creating portfolios in my classroom.

Emailing Into Evernote Just Got Better Posted by Andrew Sinkov on 16 Mar 2010 Comment One of the many ways to get stuff into your Evernote account is by sending notes to your personal Evernote email address. Today, we launched a big improvement to this functionality that lets you specify the destination Notebook and assign Tags to your emailed notes. How it works First, find your Evernote incoming email address. Next, try emailing something into Evernote. Use @ for notebooks: Use an @ symbol followed by the name of your destination notebookUse # for tags: Use a # symbol followed by the tag or tags you wish to assign. For example, Subject: Trip to Florida @travel #expense report Would create a note titled Trip to Florida in my travel notebook, tagged with expense report.

20 Evernote Search Features You Should Be Using It’s one thing to use Evernote, but it’s entirely another thing to master Evernote. If you’re new to Evernote, I don’t want to come across like it’s something complicated – it’s not, in fact, it’s the complete opposite. But there is a lot to Evernote – more than most of its users probably don’t take advantage of. In another article I wrote called Why You Should Be Using Evernote As Your Go-To Place For Remembering Everything, I made the point that it is strong at two things, one being searching for your notes quickly and easily. My goal in this article is to help you understand the available Evernote search tools, so that you will find it even easier and more enjoyable to use, than it already is. The Two Most Common Evernote Search Techniques These two techniques are probably ones you are already using and are used in two completely opposite situations – when you know exactly what you’re looking for… and when you have a vague idea of what you’re looking for.

15 Favorite iPad Apps As Selected By Teachers Out of 125 responses from teachers indicating their top 3 apps, these are the apps that were listed most often. Over the last few weeks, we ran a survey asking teachers to tell us about two or three of their favorite iPad apps that they use in an education-related context. Today we share the apps that were listed most often, and include some feedback from teachers regarding why they like them so much. As it turns out, free apps really outweighed paid apps in our survey responses. Here I list eleven free apps that rose to the top of the list when ranked by numbers of votes, followed by four paid apps that performed as well as the lower ranking free apps.

How Evernote Is Revolutionzing My Classroom From 8th January – 22nd March I chose one class, my First Year class (aged 11-12) to give up using exercise books, reading books and textbooks. Instead, they would use only digital mediums that were available to them through an iPad that they were supplied with during each lesson. We are now at the halfway point of this test, and I wanted to reflect a little on what I have found so far. The first stumbling block was the fact that the iPads that they had access to were not theirs to take home – they were issued at the start of each lesson and collected in at the end. See Also: Top 5 Apps for Organizing School Work Evernote would do two of the key things I really needed – it allows my students to curate their work (which can be produced in a multitude of mediums) in an orderly, logical fashion, and, perhaps most exciting, it allowed me to observe their work as they created it, through shared notebooks. So is it worth it? The answer is, yes. Has the work improved? The summary so far…

How Things Changed With @Evernote I'll admit it. I have to be one of the most unorganized people on the planet. I have notebooks in just about every bag I carry. Multiple calendars and I still miss appointments. Slips of papers as reminders with some string of illegible thoughts on them, that, when I find them, I don't have a clue what I was thinking when I wrote them. I have more than 10 different types of projects going on at anyone time. Organization isn't really in my vocabulary. Well, let me say, it wasn't in my vocabulary. But it is now, thanks to Evernote. I had tried Evernote in the past. Ok, so what is it? To boil it all down. Here is a view of my current notebooks. So I have notebooks for work, personal and other work I do. I keep Evernote open on my computer at all times. In this notebook are notes for 3 presentations I did at a recent district technology conference. There are lots of uses in Education too. Best thing to do now is go download it and start small. Do you use Evernote?
9 Tools To Save What You Read On The Web For Later Have you ever gone back searching the Internet for something you read and just couldn’t find it? I think we all have – it’s quite frustrating. The problem comes when we don’t take the time to save what we want to go back and look at. You might think: “I am too lazy to save stuff when I’m just clicking around the Internet“. Evernote Although there are some viable alternatives, some even mentioned in this article, Evernote has definitely established itself in the tech community (but also in other niches) as a “use it however you want” kind of tool. One example of this is using it to save classified listings before they expire. In addition to web articles, if you open a PDF in your browser, Evernote can also clip that. Highlights Mobile app: Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Blackberry and WebOS.Desktop program: Windows, Windows 8 (Touch) and Mac.Browser extension: Safari, Chrome, Firefox and IE.Bookmarklet.Web clipper has four functions: custom select, article select, full page and URL only.
