This week's highlighted Tech Tool is Evernote, a wonderful, FREE tool that can help you organize and remember information. You can use Evernote to record your thoughts, capture interesting things you see, create notes, clip interesting web pages, store PDFs, and even snap photos. You can download Evernote to all of your devices including your computer, iPad or Android tablet, and smartphone. Then you can access your notes on any of your devices or even anyplace you have access to the web. So no matter where you go, Evernote is always with you!
To keep things organized, you can place all of your notes, articles, and photos in Evernote into "notebooks".
Do you ever come across articles online that you would like to read, but just don't have time at the moment? Evernote makes it easy to "clip" articles and save them for later. This is my personal favorite feature of Evernote! Brad uses Evernote to take notes at conferences. He also finds Evernote useful for organizing photos that he takes on his smartphone.
If you would like to get Evernote on your school laptop, just stop by the IT office so we can install it for you. Also check out Evernote's website for schools, which has tips for teachers on using Evernote.
