I'm a huge fan and user of Evernote for, well, everything. I use it for my lesson plans, lesson resources, lesson schedule, meeting notes, class notes, student notes, research, web clippings, recipes, to do lists, project management, and so much more. I share notes with colleagues and students. I can access my notes anywhere on any web enabled device. What I haven't used Evernote for yet is ePortfolios. But I found a teacher who is.

"Evernote as Portfolio - The story of using Evernote as a portfolio in my k-12 school" is a blog written by a teacher in Portland, Oregon who has been working to use e-portfolios in their classroom for the last six years. They are writing this blog to share their work, successes, and obstacles in using Evernote and mobile devices to create e-portfolios with their students.

OrangeBook is a pre-beta service that promises to allow teachers to easily create digital portfolios of student work using pictures of the work and then sorting it and making it accessible.

It is not available yet, but they are allowing teachers to sign up to be a part of the initial offering.

If you are looking for a way to do e-portfolios with your students, sign up to be notified when this is available.

Googlios is a very informative site from G. Alex Ambrose that shows how free tools from Google can be used to create ePortfolios.


The site has examples of Googlios, how to get started, tips and ideas, suggested readings, resources and more. 


If you are interested in using ePortfolios with your classes, this is a great resource. It's also a great resource if you are looking for ideas to use Google tools with your classes.
