Notes de l'éditeur
- Notetaking: This the most obvious use since that is the app’s design. But Evernote adds some capabilities to that process: obviously the anywhere-anytime access to notes, tagged notes for easy access, sharing notes through social media or email. Take notes at an important meeting then send them which ever parties need them.Administrator Log: I’ve kept an administrators log every since I put on the assistant principal’s cap. At one time I used a simple running MS Word file on my desktop. I have moved that to Evernote for the same reasons I use it for note taking. My administrators log contains investigation notes, notes regarding meetings with parents, discipline information about discipline incidents. Evernote gives the ability to access my notes on any device: my laptop, iPad, Kindle Fire, Android phone. I can catalogue those notes for easy access with tags.Collection tool for sharing items: As you access the web, there are often articles or web pages that you discover would be great to share with others. Evernote allows you to capture those pages, then share them through email or social media. You can store them in Evernote until such time as you’re read to share.Online Inbasket: Instead of using a physical basket, you can place actual items in a notebook entitled inbasket which represents things to do.Weekly to do list: using Evernote for a to do list means you have access anywhere and with any device. I can check it on my desktop, on the web, on my Droid phone or my iPad. My to do list is always with me.Sticky Notes: a new Evernote Trunk item that allows you post sticky notes to your desktop. Better yet, these sticky notes are synced to your evernote account.Web Clipping: with a simple extension, you can clip a web page to you evernote account. Great for those pages that need to be reviewed later.SHOW PARTICIPANTS EVERNOTE WEB, EVERNOTE DESKTOP, SETTINGS FOR EACH, THE EVERNOTE CLEARLY, EVERNOTE WEB CLIPPER AND THE NOTEBOOKS I’VE SET UP
- Bookmarks and repository: I use Diigo to collect resources throughout the week to share with staff in my weekly email update. I also post these to my staff groups on Diigo.Highlight significant information: Using the toolbar I can highlight important points in text I want my staff to see. I can share the highlighted points with parents.Use sticky notes: with the sticky note function in the Diigo toolbar I can make comments and notes of my own and share those with staff or parents.Diigo groups: lots of Diigo groups to recommend staff join, also creating custom Diigo groups for my self, create for staff development resources like an iPad group. Project based learning groupSet up specific issue groups: set up cyberbullying group or other issues groups. Hope to one day share these groups with parents.Diigo as online professional development: set up groups to meet specific needs of staff members or to focus on stated needs professionally. Store resources there for these specific needs.Collection point for action research: staff decides to tackle a specific school-wide problem like our school has issue with students not turning work in on time. Use Diigo to collect and share what we all find on the topic.Use the note taking Chrome App: an app that’s free that allows you to take notes that are then synced to your Diigo account.Diigo is accessible from any device anywhere.SH0W PARTICIPANTS MY DIIGO ACCOUNT, GROUPS, THE DIIGO TOOLBAR FEATURES, THE CHROME APP FEATURES
- Making announcements: Our staff loads Skype first thing in the morning.

Scheduling etc.New Staff Member Interviews: interviewed a science teacher from Florida and a guidance counselor in New York
- Online faculty-staff forms and documents: create a folder to be shared, did with School Improvement and accreditation documents. Instead of giving the Advanced Ed team a flash drive, I sent them an invite to a Dropbox folder that had every document they requested.Collection box for bragging items: easy to set up. Drag and drop articles, texts of emails, anything into folder to later share with others.Portable file cabinet: this is my main use of Dropbox, all my school related files are placed in my Dropbox folder. I no longer leave my file cabinet in my office. In fact, I hardly use it. My file cabinet is with me on every device: desktop, iPad, and Droid phone and now on my Kindle Fire too!Collection point for documents collected from staff: instead of having them all send things to you as attachments, set up a Dropbox folder and have them dump their documents like emergency lesson plans right there. Makes them accessible anywhere.REVIEW DROPBOX ONLINE SETUP, DESKTOP SETUP, HOW TO SET UP SHARED FOLDERS, SHOW THEM THE SACS FOLDER TO ILLUSTRATE WHAT WAS SHARED.
