Evernote

   Digital Porfolios archive students work without taking up notebooks or having to worry about the dog eating a student's homework!  This idea really excites me.  I teach a two year culinary program where students should be keeping evidence that showcases skills they have learned throughout the program.  These artifacts can be used for applications into culinary schools and scholarship opportunities.  But I have had problems in the past with students bringing back papers from the prior year.  During the summer they throw things away even after they have been told to hang on to these documents.  Well, Evernote to the rescue.  I will be using this to digital notebook to help my students organize their professional portfolios.  Below is a snapshot of how my students will be setting up their portfolios.
