Workflow - The Reality Check

Using Evernote in the Classroom - creating & managing ePortfolios

Emailing to an Evernote Notebook:

  1. Email to Notebook (SnapGuide for finding and saving your Evernote email)
  2. Teach students to create meaningful subjects so that you know what they have created.
  3. Add @[notebook name] to the end of the subject line to send to a specific Notebook and not your default. Be sure to follow this order: subject, notebook name
    • Example subject line: Fwd: Flower Ideas @Beth (this would go into the "Beth" folder and be something having to do with ideas about Flowers)
