Local Notebooks on iPad?

[OKP889 0]

Hi!

 

I am a kindergarten teacher who is exploring different ways that I can use Evernote to organize my notes and observations of my students.  I know that on my PC I can create local notebooks that will not sync with other devices so my students cannot see them, but I cannot figure out how to do this on my iPad.  Is it possible?

 

Thanks!

Hi. Welcome to the forums. I am afraid it is not possible.

[ How can I make notes]  . . so my students cannot see them . . . .?

 

 

 

Okay let's say  . . . this . . . is what you are asking?  

 

Reading between the lines, lets further say you have shared a Notebook with your class and Parents with projects the class is working on and maybe a calendar http://bit.ly/19ssncy 

 

* * * Caveat -- I am not a teacher  * * * *

 

I would set up 3 separate Notebooks for the class

 

1)  one notebook you use like a blog that would post the wonderful things the class is doing together -  You share this with the whole class

 

2)  another notebook you might  set up wtih each child, then you share individually each child note with the parents -- Share each note separately

 

3)  Create a 3rd notebook for teachers notes, for each child -- this you do NOT share with the class or do NOT share with the parents (other than maybe in person conference . . .I don't know about the delicacies of what you should and shouldn't do there)  -- for me I would need to visually differenciate between the note to the parents and the teacher-notes on the student you do not want to post to the parents -- I think I would do it with color image banner across the top of the note - Use red for private teacher notes and green for shared with parent's notes. you want to make it extremely obvious what note you are writing in and editing. I could see how this could get confused.

 

Edit -- here is a  link on how to share

(obviously you want to test this on yourself or another teacher first so you know you are doing it right)

Just keep in mind the maximum number of notebooks (including stacks) is 250.

Right

I didn't type that right, the 1st Notebook is for ALL your students - you share the whole notebook

 

The second notebook you only share individual singular notes with each parent -- NOT the whole notebook, or you could have a notebook for each student you just have a limit -- would work for a primary teacher not a secondary teacher that might have hundreds of students
