App-O-Da-Week - #1

So, you are looking for a new app?

You want it to be easy to use and understand?

You want it to be FREE?!

Well, here you go - after our great #appyhour discussion on Twitter (Fridays @2pm est) (Shameless plug) - we will be pulling the most talked about and loved app of the week for you to all!

The discussion this week centered around Productivity and Organizational apps to use in your classroom for yourself or for your students. When it came down to all the nooks and crannies of the apps talked about, one kept popping up.



Evernote and Penultimate! 

These two apps are both FREE, use the same login and password (great for educators who can't remember one more password as it is!) and helps keep organized and tabs on your students, classrooms, and projects all at the same time. 

You can input pictures from your camera, use the Notability pad as a sketch book for multiple classes, and make folders for all your students work. It takes the place of Office Apps and even Apple apps, like pages. 

Don't take my word for it - check out what +Evernote has to say about it!

And the +The Next Web - http://thenextweb.com/apps/2013/01/31/evernote-penultimate/




 If you are looking to get one free app for organization and productivity, this one is it!






  PS - The ART-O-DA series is something that I used for years with my students for extra credit - will be carrying over the practice when I first saw +Jay Eitner use it in his blog! Got to give credit where it is due!

Best,

Mr. C
