- organizational tool that I think might be useful for teachers-librarians because there are some aspects to the job, from buying books to collaborative teaching
- it is like carrying file cabinet of all your post-its and files with you wherever you go
- you can access it from a desktop computer, tablet or smartphone and they can be all synced to each other
- place you can save everything into notes, this could include checklists, URLs, articles, photos, random thoughts and pdfs
Uses for Teachers
- organize and clip any articles you find interesting for your teaching
- keep checklists (e.g., things to do, books you need to buy)
- keep notes from all your meetings, classes, chats with teachers (keeps it in date order)
- share notebooks with others who also use Evernote
- take photos of projects, bulletin boards, whiteboards
- create reminders
- search inside notebooks, tags, and text within photos (especially useful for whiteboard photos)
- use Evernote Skitch to highlight and annotate screen captures, pdfs, photos
- make some items accessible offline
- it is free
- export and backup content
Considerations
- the format looks slightly different on each device
- you cannot clip from the tablet or smartphone
I have been wanting to try Evernote, but haven’t had the motivation. Now I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing with the class.
