Collect & Relate - keeping track of resources & student work with Evernote

The iPad is changing so fast, how do you keep up? How can you keep track of everything that your students create? 

Evernote Challenge #1:

1. Open the Evernote app and create a note called "Collecting Resources"
2. Type a few thoughts about what you have already seen today.
3. Add a photo and audio recording.
4. Put your note in a new notebook.
5. BONUS SUPER ADVANCED CHALLENGE - Go to this page and install the Evernote Web Clipper. Clip 2 or 3 web pages and add them to your Evernote account.

Creating on the iPad #1 - Screencasts

I want students to use the iPad for….Demonstrating their understanding of concepts with screen casts and/or recording their reading fluency.

• Challenge #1 - create a screencast using ScreenChomp.

Creating on the iPad #2 - eBooks

Challenge #1 - Using BookCreator, begin a book about what you have learned so far in this course. Throughout the next two days, you will be able to add to it in order to create a book about your experiences thus far.

• Create a new book
• Create a cover with the title and an image
• Include 2 screen captures in your book of apps that you've used so far.

Creating on the iPad #3 - Stories, Fluency, & Voice

I want students to use the iPad for….Telling Digital Stories, practicing the reading fluency, and developing their own voice with images, audio, & video

• Challenge #1: Use Fotobabble to tell a story. Think about how your students could incorporate a photo of something that they create in class and then add their audio to it.
  • Fotobabble Video Tutorial from EdTechTeacher
• Challenge #2: Create a story using Animoto that incorporates both photos, video, text, and music. In order to do the free upgrade to the educator account, create your account either on your computer or through Safari (NOT the app). Save an Animoto to your Camera Roll and then bring it into a new page in Book Creator. How could you use this with your students? What value could it bring? Why might it be an effective learning opportunity?

Evernote Challenge #2 - creating & managing ePortfolios

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: Flower Ideas @Beth (this would go into the "Beth" folder and be something having to do with ideas about Flowers)
