Evernote provides one possible solution to the challenge. The ability to sync across multiple devices, email directly to a notebook, include photos and audio recordings in notes, and share notes, makes Evernote a powerful assessment and portfolio tool. Teachers can create one notebook per student and then curate their projects by taking photos of physical assignments, sharing digital ones via email to the student’s notebook, recording students’ thoughts and reflections with audio, and typing additional notes for assessment purposes, to create a robust portfolio for each child. These student notebooks could then be shared with colleagues, peers, or parents.

I would be curious as to what you think of this. It's very visual, but has a trendy, pop, "People's Magazine" to it. I searched something and wanted solid results, but couldn't find a source. I wouldn't accept Izik as a source. Started out looking good to me, but having second thought.
