Recently I heard about Evernote presentation mode.
From Evernote:
Since I use Evernote for just about everything, I wondered how I could use presentation mode....and then it was conference time. (cue the music)
How to use Evernote presentation mode for conference time?
First I created a structure for my time in conferences. I thought about what I wanted to share with parents and set up a structure like this:
- student commentary
- shifts in books since the beginning of the year
- reading growth
- writing growth
- assessment information
- reading calendars
- strengths
- next steps
- helping at home *
- class links *
* same across all notes
I then made topic headings and pulled in the pieces I knew would be consistent across conference notes. When the note outline was created I then duplicated it and created one for each student. Finally, I added examples of student responses to questions about their growth as a reader using audio, attached pictures of snippets of text and writing samples, created post-its listing strengths and next steps, and then linked to assessment and calendar information.
After completing the note I was ready for conference conversations. In the conference I just pulled up the conference note, switched to presentation mode, and began to chat. It was easy to stay on track in the conference. Smooth.
Here's how it worked:
