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.

"Mostly these correspondences are a few emails to support educators as they explore Evernote for their schools. Occasionally, however, I have the privilege of hearing over a whole year about how a teacher or a school has transformed the learning landscape of their students using Evernote for Portfolios."

"Staying in control of information and resources is a critical element of any workflow. The wealth of information online may seem overwhelming, but fortunately there are some useful digital tools that can help us save and retrieve information for when we need it, and make sure it is available on all of our devices. Evernote is one of the most popular and powerful services for this task. "

This great post explains how Russ Goerend uses his iPad and Evernote to keep records for his student's reading including voice and written records.

"One of the essentials in Reading this year is one-on-one conferencing with students. When I saw that The CAFE suggested using three-ring binders with tons of copies for each student, I went mentally-fetal. It wouldn't just be one three-ring binder I'd need to organize. I have three classes! Knowing that much paperwork would overwhelm me, I set about devising a system. I settled on Evernote with an iPad I've borrowed from my district's IT department. I want to lay out a few screenshots of how it works and why I like it."

"Well now it can. What if I told you there was a great, free alternative to scraps of paper and that you can get organised with all of your notes in just one place, online."

"It's a noble aspiration: being truly digital means no trees die, your information is searchable, sortable, and safely stored in the cloud. We now have access to great tools such as Evernote, Dropbox, and Google's suite of applications, which means that stuff you care about can accessible to you on almost any device and location; on your phone, tablet, and desktop, at home, at the office, and on the move. Yet paper survives."
