Evernote can serve as a viable option for creating portfolios. For those unfamiliar with the app, think of Evernote as the Swiss Army knife of organization. In other words, it does just about everything. As opposed to a blog or website, Evernote allows students to write, take photos, record audio, upload content and more with the ability to tag items, create notebooks for organization and share content socially. Something else that makes Evernote so versatile is that it can sync across multiple computers and mobile devices.
