With Evernote you can snap a picture and assign it to a lesson or notebook. I hate taking things off my wall when testing comes around because I have to decide what to do with it. If you like to think of your life in weeks, you could create a note for each week instead and then have headers for each day of the week. I also love that it has checkboxes! I still get the sense of accomplishment without having a paper list. You can think about you week and determine what day to add them to your to-do list. This is great for when you are sitting in a meeting and they mention that grade sheets are due back by Friday. If you don’t get to something you can easily copy and paste it to the next day. When I was in the classroom, my list consisted of Before School, Conference, and After School headers and you could set it up the same. Within the notebook, I create a note for each day of the week and jot down what I need to accomplish. My Daily To-Do Notebook is by far, my most utilized notebook. Today, I would like to focus on ways for teachers to use Evernote to stay organized. There are quite a few ideas for personal use with Evernote or using Evernote with your students. My favorite part is that all of the information can be sorted into different notebooks with multiple notes. This is perfect for an idea that comes to you first thing in the morning or when you are at dinner. I currently sync Evernote on my desktop, laptop, and phone. The basic version allows you to sync all of your devices and clip different pieces from the web. I am on the free basic version and believe that 90% of teachers would need no additional features. What can Evernote do?Įvernote offers three versions with different functions. Remember the notes from PD or the to-do list you jot on a sticky note? Evernote allows you to keep all of the information in one place and features a quick and easy search feature for finding it. What is Evernote?Įssentially Evernote is a catalogue organizing your information in one location that is available on all of your devices. I have been using Evernote for several months now and even though I am no longer in the classroom, I have brainstormed 5 Evernote Tips for Teachers. A colleague of mine always mentioned Evernote and months later I decided to try it out. I found that I always had my phone and somehow that composition book was MIA. Everything changed when I started using my phone for reminders and appointments. My own personal composition notebook traveled to parent conferences, team meetings, professional developments, and home. I love composition notebooks, I used them in my classroom all of the time.
