In the Web, PC, iPhone, iPad, and/or Android app, users can create notes including text, images, and audio, organize them into folders, and share them with other users. The data is synced automatically across all devices. The tagline is "remember everything" - something that can be incredibly helpful for teachers and students alike. Evernote Essentials is a really detailed and helpful ebook to get you started. Here is a great blog post on 10 ways to use evernote in the classroom.

David: Laura Carew, First Grade Teacher at ACDS shared the Teachers Pay Teachers curriculum site. It is a marketplace for teachers to sell their lessons, unit plans, etc. The National Association of Independent Schools publishes a free downloadable “Stories of Excellence: Case Studies of Exemplary Teaching and Learning with Technology”. They are gearing up for new entries so interested teachers at independent schools might want to look into sharing their lessons/units of study. Shifted Practices: Michelle Cook
