Evernote!

Evernote!

I still find myself blown away with the technological advances that are steadily being created and utilized in the world today. So many devices, tools, and electronics can be used to enhance and have ultimately revolutionized the way in which we learn as well as teach.

We are all on the go! Its the way we live. Its fast paced. Its busy. Its non-stop. Education is no longer confined to the four walls of a classroom with desks and a chalkboard. Learning is literally everywhere! Teaching can be done from almost anywhere! Evernote is one of those handy tools that can be used on multiple devices that we use everyday. I for one use my android phone, iPad tablet, and even computer on a DAILY basis. So the geniuses of the world make is so easy to stay abreast and active through these devices. So why not for education if we are using these devices anyway?! Nope, I am sure you can't come up with a logical reason not to use them.

The possibilities with Evernote seem endless to me...

Here are few ways I can see this tool being used practically:

- e-portfolios
- digital portfolios 
- class projects (in any subject area)
- introduce students to advanced technology use over an array of devices
- professional development (for teachers and administrators)
- for extensive note taking (teachers can always check up on students or award points for taking notes in class)
- store images or other items for class purposes or discussion
- use Evernote as a workspace
- materials can be transferred from one device to another
- tool can be used in different settings (at home, in the classroom, or on field trip :) etc.)
- can access the materials stored with Evernote in the future (I'd like to think of this as building onto education from one grade level or class to the next)
- option of group or individual storage and passwords OR a mixture of both
