Evernote For Schools Site: Resource for Using Evernote in Education

I have often blogged about Evernote. Evernote is just one of those products that I use on a daily basis. It’s a tool that allows me to stay organized and helps me remember things throughout the day. I recently presented several presentations on Evernote at FETC (Florida Educational Technology Conference) and met the Evernote for Schools team. There was a strong buzz throughout the conference on Evernote and I felt as if there was Evernote Fever flying around the conference. If you have not had the chance to visit Evernote for Schools here is a link to their blog: Evernote For Schools Blog. Thank you Evernote for mentioning me in this Blog, I am truly humbled and honored. I am looking forward to presenting on Evernote at ICE12 (Illinois Computing Educators Technology Conference). Below you will find a copy of the Evernote for Schools Blog.

As more teachers and students adopt new technologies, including Evernote, they’re looking for useful resources to help them along the way. We’re excited to introduce them to Evernote for Schools, our new microsite devoted to helping those in the education community use Evernote more effectively.

Evernote Encourages a Lifetime of Learning

Teachers and administrators who are looking to start their students on a path of lifelong learning can find a collection of resources at Evernote for Schools including education-related case studies, videos, and a discussion forum for connecting and sharing tips and ideas for using Evernote in a school setting. Students can use Evernote to organize all their content (notes, projects, worksheets, lists and more) on all the computers, phones and tablets they use, at school and at home. Evernote allows students to build on their learning year after year by carrying their work with them from school to school, without the heavy load of  backpacks and binders.

Evernote at the Florida Educational Conference

We recently had the pleasure of connecting with educators face-to-face at the Florida Educational Conference (FETC) where Carlos Fernandez, an Instructional Technology Coordinator for Leon County Schools in Florida, shared his top tips for using Evernote at school. Carlos reached out to us prior to the conference to let us know he was already presenting a workshop on Evernote. After talking with him we were so impressed with all the ideas he had, we asked him to lead our Learning Lab. During the Learning Lab Carlos was able to connect with fellow teachers and administrators, present some of his favorite Evernote use cases and help others get started and incorporating Evernote into their schools.
