In addition to being a good iPad app for creating portfolios, Easy Portfolio could be a good app for students to use to take notes. They can create portfolios for each of their courses. Then within each portfolio they can type notes and or record audio notes.

Easy Portfolio is currently priced at $1.99 USD.

I love Google Drive and I love my iPad, but they don’t always love each other. The Google Drive iPad app has improved over the last couple of months to the point where it’s not as robust as using Google Drive on the web or on an Android device, but it is much more functional than ever before. In fact, it’s now possible to create student portfolios through the Google Drive iPad app. Last week Greg Kulowiec, who I have done some iPad workshops with in the past, wrote up a fantastic set of directions on using the Google Drive iPad app to have students create portfolios. You can read Greg’s complete post on the topic here. The how-to video that he made I have embedded below.
