We had a great start to the year this morning in our Techie Brekkie session. We began our year with a focus on the one and only Evernote. Emily and Bec lead us through how they have used Evernote in the classroom and highlighted how great the program is terms of keeping everything in one place and staying organised within the classroom.
We learnt that Evernote is an application that can be used across multiple devices including computers, i Pads, i Phones, Andriods etc.
We also learnt about notes, notebooks and notebook stacks:
A notebook is a containter that holds notes.
A notebooks stack is a container that holds notebooks.
We covered many areas of Evernote beginning with how to use Evernote as an assessment tool. Attendees had the oportunity to set up a Notebook for each of their students which then became a part of their notebook stack. Within this notebook, teachers can take anecdotal notes, record students reading, take photos of students work and much more. Bec showed an example of how she had taken a photo of a students writing and annotated this in Evernote.
As well as anecdotal notes, Emily and Bec shared with us how to create checklists and calendars in Evernote to monitor student conferencing. A very valuable tool!
If you have any further questions add them to the comment section of this post and someone will try to answer these for you. Alternatively, you can visit Bec's blog Miss Spink on Tech and there are blog posts/guides and tutorials that may help. There is also a great presentation below to help if required.
Looking forward to seeing everyone next week,
Lauren
