Evernote makes it easy to remember things big and small from your notable life using your computer, phone, and the web. With Evernote you can capture everything. The use of Evernote in an educational setting is expansive. For example, students could use their cell phones to capture images for a field trip scavenger hunt, instantly upload them for viewing later. If you can see it or think of it, Evernote can help you remember it (Evernote, 2010). You can type text notes take a screen shot of web pages or snap photos (Evernote, 2010). Evernote will keep it all safe (Evernote, 2010). Everything you capture is automatically processed, indexed, and made searchable (Evernote, 2010). If you like, you can add tags or organize notes into different notebooks (Evernote, 2010). Search for notes by keywords, titles, and tags. Evernote magically makes printed and handwritten text inside your images searchable, too (Evernote, 2010).
I plan on using Evernote in class for assignment where students have to prove with a visual image that they have completed a task. I would also like to use it for field trips to museums where students need to capture images, and tag the phote with the proper tag to not only prove they went to the areas but also that they know what they viewed and can explain what they learn. I would also ask the students how they want to use Evernote. It is a great program that has many uses. Like other great programs, it is free which is a plus.

I really like the scavenger hunt idea. My colleague and I were discussing something very much along the lines of this product last night in fact. I am going to have to give it a whirl. Thanks for the great tip!
