different. You have to copy and paste the actual
text.
1) Download the file.

notebook
28. My preferred method is to:
1) Copy and paste the text to create a new
note.
2) Highlight errors, or anything else I want
to talk about them.
3) Make a recording where I explain what
I’ve highlighted.
4) Share the note with the student.
29. Share URL with student. They don’t need to have
Evernote

sort and help you find notes.
32. On your phone, it looks
a little different but it’s
easier to take multi-
modal notes.
33. Evernote will
automatically sync
your notes so if you
look at them on your
computer, they’ll be
the same.
Tip: you can access
your notes online
with a computer that
doesn’t have
Evernote by logging
in to the website.
34. Privacy

Evernote. Consider giving students
code names or use first name and last
