Create a note using a phone or any web browser or use a desktop application. See this link for a short introductory video and a video library with many helpful tutorials.

As a teacher I use Evernote all the time and have a notebook for each class I teach as well as numerous other notebooks. The search function is truly astonishing for its speed (here’s why)!

Recently I have been using Evernote shared notebooks as a way of sharing information, for example see Mathematics videos, QR codes and very appropriately some Evernote links!

Having used a shared notebook recently to share some useful resources with students at school, some students then created their own accounts.

The free version of Evernote is excellent and more than adequate for millions of users!

Kathy Schrock has created ‘Bloomin’ Google‘ where she has categorised Google tools according to Bloom’s revised taxonomy.

Her blog post explains its origins.

One of the most popular posts on my Mathematics, Learning and Web 2.0 blog is the one on online whiteboards.

This seems worthy of a mention here. I embedded a screenr recording via YouTube on a class wikipage as part of some homework feedback.
Some of the other tools mentioned in that post may well be of interest. Scribblar for example offers a chat function as well as the whiteboard so is very good for online collaboration.

A recent addition, Isle of Tune where you can build a layout, add sounds and drive cars around to play your masterpiece is proving popular!
