HOW TO MAKE A CHECKLIST THAT SYNCS ON ALL DEVICES!

#GAMECHANGER

I make lists constantly and a class list is something I use almost daily!  I have probably printed my class list 50+ times this year!  I use them to cross out, check off, and scratch out as the students turn in their permission slips, are chosen for Star Student, bring in an assigned item, etc.  ALL. THE. TIME.

I thought I had really figured something out this past week while given our Math CBA (A district math test).  I have to give this test one on one and I like to have a list of who I have already done/still need to do.  I taped a class list on my teacher table and used a sharpie to check off as I pulled the kids to the back table and completed the test.  When I was finished, I used a Mr. Clean Magic eraser to wipe it off.  This worked.  BUT...THEN... I was introduced to EVERNOTE and my life as a checklist lover will forever be changed!  (This would be one of those moments where I get way too excited over technology!)

da da da...

 

Introducing the coolest thing ever...You can use the FREE app, Evernote to create a class list (new note, insert table, type away!).  You can put your headings across the top and what you are "checking off" at the top of the other columns.  You can insert a "to do" by clicking where you want it to go and then clicking the box with the check- right here:


When you add the app and sign in on your other devices (ipad, iphone, computer, etc) your list is there!  Waiting for you!  Synced and updated!!  It's also easy to edit if a student comes/leaves! 

***I added my check list to my shortcuts, so it is quick and easy to access when I pull the app up! 

Do you use Evernote??  How else can it be used in the classroom??  I would love to hear your ideas or ways you make Evernote work for you!
