Evernote; a great resource for teachers.

   I have been using evernote for about 6 months now and i have become a huge fan. This piece of free software has made my life a lot easier.

The beauty of evernote is that it works on your computer, but is also synced with the web site as well, so you can access your digital scrap book where ever there is a web connected computer.

As a teacher i get lots of pieces of paper, and some are actually important! If they are i take a picture with my sony ericson w800i phone, upload the picture and add it to evernote. Also when searching for lesson ideas and resources i can add websites to evernote (either the whole page or selected text and pictures). I did think ’this is great, but what happens when i have so many notes that i can’t remember where i put them on evernote’. However, when something is uploaded or saved it is indexed and becomes searchable within evernote. So all you need do is type the key word and all notes with that word in the text is found. It even indexes hand written notes, and text in pictures!

Evernote has made my much more organised and allowed me to have a central place to store all my ideas.

Have a look at the video telling you a little about evernote.
