INTEGRATION IDEA PORTFOLIOS

How might you use this resource in a lesson plan to promote student-centered learning?
I would ask my students to store all of their notes into Evernote, titling subjects based on the unit or topic, so for testing and
projects, the students always know exactly where to refer back to. It would be incorporated at the end of each class.

VALUE-ADDED EXPLANATION
 Based on the value-added rating scale above, how would you rate the technology integration you described, using the
selected resource?
Explain your rating based on the rubric indicators.

While I personally use Evernote and think it is perfectly organization, I only rate it a 1 in integration because it only helps a
student further manage themselves, but it does not necessarily change the classroom. The students can have multiple ways of
organizing their thoughts and classrooms would definitely survive without it, it still makes things easier and more accessible than
regular notes. It can make the classroom more efficient.
