Evernote: The New Notebook
Evernote( free)Have you ever scribbled notes on the back of
your paperwork? Or just not taken notes at all? Well Evernote is an easy to use
application that helps you remember all key notes, while at the same time
sharing your notes with others. Once logged into Evernote the author will have
the option to view all notes, view a particular notebook, share notes with others
and tag notes that are key materials needed at a later date. When a note is created, the author will create
a title to the note section, but the notes will allow the author to take pictures
on the notes or record the author’s voice to the notes. For my purpose this application will be used
as an interactive notebook throughout the year in Environmental Science. This
notebook will give the students the organizational skills to be successful
throughout the year. Below you will find a short tutorial on Evernote and a student’s
experience with the use of Evernote in the classroom.
Evernote Tutorial
The student perspective:
Evernote is one of my favorite tools; I have it on every device that I use. It allows me to organize all of the things I find in one place. There is a bookmark app that can be added to your browser so that even as you surf the web, you can add content to your notebooks. Evernote wrote a post about using Evernote as a e-portfolio with students - you might find it interesting: http://goo.gl/29oql
ReplyDeleteJackie, I think this application may be something that I can use for my curriculum unit. When "voice" is recorded, is there an option to turn it to text?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great app. I downloaded on my tablet, but never followed through, putting in the time to learn how to use it well. Your post has inspired me to look into it again since I do have the occasional organizational mishap, and I am thinking about recommending it for my students.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great app. It would be great to teach students how to be organized using 21st century technology so that they will be even better prepared for post-secondary education and/or the workforce. I think I am going to download this app and start learning how to use it, so I can encourage my students to use it too!
DeleteI think that this app is pretty awesome I wish that I had something like this when I was in high school. This seems like it would really help students stay organized and the other cool part about this app is that your able to share your notes with others. Great review and I think that I will have to download this app and check it out for myself.
ReplyDeleteYou picked a great app. I have never used it but I have had people recommended it to me. It looks like something I could use in both my personal and professional life. Thank you for posting it.
ReplyDeleteGreat app to pick for what you are doing. I have downloaded and used this in the past...it is a really great way to take notes with the ability to include some more interactive aspects to the note taking process. Nice review for a quality app.
ReplyDeleteI really like this. I dont always take notes in classes because I prefer to listen to whats going on so this app looks perfect for me. I will have to try it. I also think that students will find this very helpful especially as they get older
