Deb Norton Tech

Today's Chat with Deb shows the incredible app, Evernote .  This app will allow students to create a digital backpack with digital notebooks and notes.  A mobile phone or tablet allows you to add images and audio to the digital notes. There is also the ability to share notes with others and set reminders for tests or exams.  Evernote Web Clipper makes it easy to clip any webpage directly to your Evernote notebooks. Watch this Chat with Deb to see how it is all done: If you have an idea of how students or teachers can put Evernote to use, leave a comment below. Thank you to Intel's Teachers Engage for sponsoring this Chat with Deb.

Text can be a file uploaded from your computer or the URL of a website. Once a text is uploaded to your library, you can edit the Curriculet and add a question, quiz or annotation.  Selecting text can also help teachers or students to define a word.  For example, here I used the URL of a website (from CNN.com about the white and gold / blue and black dress). When editing the Curriculet, I highlighted a bit of text and added an annotation which gave a link to the meaning of a part of the text.
