Interesting WaysPublished onUpdated on1 Comment on Interesting Ways to Use Evernote to Support Learning

Another Interesting Ways resource to share with you. This time we are looking at Evernote one of my tools I use daily and something that has great potential in the classroom.

As you can see we have just gotten started with this resource so I would be grateful if you could help by adding some ideas to the open, editable Google Presentation. Alternatively you could share this resource with your own network to help spread the word and encourage ideas to be added.

You can read more here about crowdsourcing great edu resources with the Interesting Ways series and catch up with the whole family over on the page.

I am pleased to relaunch this popular resource form the Interesting Ways series after a little bit of TLC.

If you are new to the idea behind the Interesting Ways series, they are open Google Presentations which teachers add their ideas to – one idea, one slide, one image. They have been running for years now and have proven massively helpful to teachers across the world as crowdsourced idea banks to share with colleagues.

I have checked through this one on Google Forms and updated the first and last slides – I hope you find the ideas useful and of course please feel free to follow the link below to add your own ideas (jump to the last slide for info on what to do) after all that is what they are here for!

Add your ideas by editing the document.

Thanks to everyone for helping to support these resources – I will continue to work through them all in the coming weeks and update and tend to them accordingly.

Many early users of the latest platform for social networking have begun sharing their ideas about the potential for supporting learning. There is much to be anticipated – I always believed that the community element was missing from the use of Google Apps for Education.

Perhaps Google+ could provide the platform for schools to help positively teach social networking and tie in the use of the different apps more seamlessly together.

Take a look at what educators think so far and feel free to share your own ideas with the Google doc, or leave them in the comments here.
