What's It About?

EVERNOTE is a cross-platform note-taking app used frequently in business and education. The beauty of the productivity app is that kids can access the information on Evernote from any device or computer. The information users can collect and save on Evernote seems limitless -- text, images, audio clips, photos, links, and more. The saved notes are searchable -- including the text within images. Notes can be shared via a link that users can email or share on social media sites as well as through other apps installed on the device.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 1 ):
Kids say ( 3 ):

The uses for Evernote seem endless, and as more schools move to BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) or 1:1 technology in classroom initiatives, kids may encounter Evernote more and more. The portability from device to device makes it a handy tool in a world where many kids work on multiple devices. The search function is great for finding specific pieces of stored information, though searching the text within images is hit or miss. Kids may find uses for Evernote in taking and sharing class notes, collaborating on school projects, or saving images of work or experiences.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about appropriate recording and sharing of information. Discuss what can be logged and what should and should not be shared.
