My Evernote... [| http://evernote.com/] What I like most about Evernote is that you can sync it to any device. You can download the app for android or the iPhone for free. Evernote allows you to organize and store any amount of information, while at the same time providing you instant access to it all. My Evernote is a great way to help your students get and stay organized. It is very easy to use if you are remotely capable of operating a computer. During class I would have my students start to gather resources and put them into Evernote. Inside Evernote they could organize these sources into primary and secondary sources, or even organize them further by content. Once they saved that information into their Evernote wherever my students have Internet access they can have all that information at their fingertips.

Bubbl.us... [| https://bubbl.us/] Bubble.us is a great way to have your students Brainstorm. It allows your students to be creative with the endless amount of possibilities and bubble formations they can create. This Web 2.0 Tool is really designed to make connections for visual learners. What I would do in my classroom is use Bubbl.us to have my students create a mind map of what they learned throughout the week. So over the weekend and due before Monday’s class my students would have to give me a mind map of the material that was covered the previous week in class. After doing that I can then try and incorporate other writing strategies having my students tie the previous week’s material into the newer material strengthening connections.
