The checklist feature in Evernote is also useful for asking students to set goals for their language learning, and create plans to achieve those goals. This can be a great feature for helping the students become more organized, or even brainstorming checklists for the success of an assigned project.

Create checklists: Checklists can be easily added to a note directly from the app.

This can be a very useful feature for documenting photo evidence of a poster-task through every stage of its creation, or collecting photos during a field-trip to match a list of vocabulary items and so on.

Collect photos: Students can add photos directly into their notes from Evernote, which can either be accessed from the iPad camera-roll, or taken directly from the Evernote camera.

Overall, this can make the research process easier for students.

Students can also be asked to keep written or oral comments about or reflections on their research clippings into the same notes.

Web-clip research notes: By simply installing the Evernote-Webclipper bookmarklet, students can clip parts of webpages they visit as part of a research assignment, and even clip full-pages for easy reference later.

Again, these slideshows/presentations can be added as evidence of learning in Evernote as hyperlinks. Slideshare and Prezi are two very popular Web 2.0 presentation tools in today’s classrooms.

Hyperlink online slideshows: Students can often be asked to create presentations or slideshows in the language classroom.

Once the videos are uploaded, they can easily be hyperlinked into their Evernote portfolios as evidence of learning. The students are often asked to take video footage of their role-plays and upload them either to their Google Drive or a class YouTube channel. These are great for practicing listening and speaking skills.

Hyperlink uploaded videos: I use drama, role-plays and simulations a lot in my ESL classroom.

Sometimes I also distribute observation checklists for students to fill-out as screenshots/pictures that they can annotate on Skitch and then add to their portfolios.

Skitch is a great free app that allows the annotation of photos and pictures, and it syncs directly with Evernote. Add annotated pictures/photos from Skitch: I often ask my students to take photos of things around them and then label/annotate them, such as taking a photo of another student to label parts of the body, or taking photos of a kitchen to label different equipment and utensils.

Since Evernote allows the recording of voice directly into a note, students can often be asked to record audio-notes of their oral reflections, pair-work discussions, oral-language practices etc… Record audio-notes: Speaking is the other important productive skill in any language classroom.I always remind my students to keep screenshots of their filled-in forms before they click ‘Submit’, and this can be added as evidence to their Evernote portfolios. The great thing about iPads/tablets is that students can take screenshots. I also prepare Google Forms for self-assessment and peer-assessment checklists/rubrics. Gather screenshots of work done on online forms/quizzes: I often use Google Forms to prepare short quizzes and tests for students.The most obvious thing students can do with Evernote is write text, and writing is used extensively in the ESL classroom: essays, reports, observations, answers to questions etc… Write text: Writing is a very important productive skill in any language classroom.Here are some of the many things my students do with Evernote on their tablets: Evernote is a great platform for students to collect evidence of their learning, and to share that with their teacher/s, and their families. Now that iPads and tablets are spreading into many educational institutions, I believe it’s important to think about the ways these devices can facilitate assessment in the classroom. I have always been a fan of such ‘ alternatives in assessment‘ because of the fact that they focus a lot more on the ‘process of learning’ as opposed to the ‘product of learning’ (Brown & Hudson, 1998). Some of the benefits of using portfolios, as described by Brown & Hudson (1998) include: (1) focusing student attention on learning processes and (2) increasing student involvement in the learning processes. Brown & Hudson (1998) have also described portfolios as a ‘family of assessments’. On the Prince George’s County Public Schools’ website, a portfolio is defined as ‘a purposeful collection of student work that exhibits the student’s efforts, progress, and achievements in one or more areas of the curriculum’. Portfolio assessment in the ESL classroom offers many benefits.
