Thanks Kevin. I will be sharing your idea with our science teacher “first” This is all NEW to me but I am going to embrace it!!! It will empower our students.

Students access a PDF worksheet from your Shared Folder and ‘open in…..Neu Annotate(like Good Reader). They fill in the worksheet by typing in answers or by handwriting them. The worksheet can then be emailed back to your Evernote Account using the evernote email provided when your created the account. If the student knows the folder you want the work sent to, they add @folder name in the Subject Bar of the email. I get students to add their class and full name before the @folder, so that I can identify who the worksheet was submitted by.

A student can access a PDF on their iPad through your Evernote Shared Folder and ‘Open in….Neu Annotate’(like Good Reader). They fill in the worksheet in hand writing or by typing in answers and then email it to your Evernote Teacher email provided by Evernote when you started the account. If the student knows the exact folder you wish them to send the PDF to, they write @ plus the name of the folder in the Subject Bar of the email, directly after the subject. You simply go to the designated folder to find the student’s work. I get my students to add their class number and name to the Subject Bar, before the @ folder, so I know from whom the work has come.
I hope this works for you. I am part of a paperless project and so am having to find out ways of working from student iPad to teacher iPad.

Shane,

I personally don’t know the answer to that question. I would suggest contacting the people at Moodle.

Cheers.

Hi,
I was wanting to see if you know of EN being used in conjunction with Moodle LMS (Learning Management System). If so is there some sort of integration system and is there an API avalible for both ends.
Thanks Shane

Hi Deb,

I have been trying to think of a way to make your idea work. That is, get students to work on and submit worksheets and notes in a digital format. Although I personally don’t do that it might work really well at a school that has a one-to-one program. There are apps like GoodReader that allow for PDF editing. If students had that app installed on an iPad then they could theoretically access any PDF from your shared notebook, edit it, and submit it to you via email or some other means.

That’s the only way I could see that system working. Perhaps someone with more insight than me could chime in?

Kevin

Relatedly: your worksheet above – tools of a scientist – can your kids answer right on that sheet in EN? I’ve scanned in worksheets, but they don’t seem writable. What am I missing?
Thanks again.

Are students doing Cornell in EN directly?, or on paper (which you then have them scan/photo into their EN binder)?

I think EN will allow me to radically decrease my paper consumption at school, so am looking for a way to have them take Cornell notes in EN directly – I want to bypass the paper step. If I import a PDF, it doesn’t seem to be writable.

Really appreciating your help . . .

Hi Deb,

I do use Cornell notes a fair amount with my students. If I am understanding your question correctly -there are multiple ways you can get a template saved into your Evernote application. I usually give my students a hard copy and then have them fill it out. But if a student loses there copy or is absent then they have an opportunity to retrieve a template from my shared folder system.

From what I have seen, if you do a search for “Cornell Notes Template” you can find a host of websites that let you download a PDF or Word version of Cornell Notes. You can download those files that interest you and then drag and drop them into one of your Evernote folders. You can also download and print a template from a website (or get a template from a colleague) and scan it into your computer using a ScanSnap scanner or other suitable device.

Let me know if that helps.
