What is Evernote? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjn6YkCY2yA The idea behind Evernote is to simplify and

organize your life by giving a place to keep all of notes, images, files, web clips, etc. all in one place.

Using cloud based technology, Evernote allows you to sync your phone, computer, and tablet devices so that you have your files and documents wherever you are. One of the best things about it is that it’s free!

Sync all of your devices (Your new iPad too!)

How to Create Notebooks Once you have your note, you can organize it by

creating a notebook, or category for your notes. Directly under your Title, Evernote automatically

places notes in your default notebook. To change this, click on the notebook.

From her you can find the correct notebook category your note belongs in such as “To-Do Lists,” or “RTI meetings.” If you don’t already have a notebook for that category you can create a new one.

On the home screen of Evernote, you can click to expand your notebook view.

How to: Create Tags Tag : Keyword(s) for your notes. Think

#hashtags Once you have your note, you can further

organize it by creating a Tag, or keyword for your notes. You can search your notes later on for Tags, and Evernote can categorize them for you.

For example, I could tag this document as “Evernote,” “technology”, “collaboration,” and “ PLC.” You can have as many tags as you want.

How to: Create Tags Directly next your notebook, click the green

word that says “more.” More will change into “Add Tag”

Type a new tag, or choose an existing one by clicking the (+) symbol. This will allow to search and find a tag you have already created.

You will note on your Evernote home screen that Evernote can categorize your notes by TAG so quickly search for keyword topics.

How to: Insert Attachments

attachment: picture, audio, documents etc.

At the top of your note, you will see a paperclip symbol (just like your email)

When you click it, Evernote will give you options to upload an attachment from a camera, document camera, saved photo or even an audio clip.

How to: Insert Attachments

The audio clip functions allows to you record sound, such as a lecture or grade level meeting, while allowing you to take notes at the same time.

Did one of your students create an awesome project or give a great response to a common formative assessment? Snap a picture and attach it a note. You can share this note with your colleagues later on

Now Collaborate with Peers! Share your notes and notebooks with

your colleagues to help your PLC collaborate more effectively.

Your turn! Choose one standard from this unit and… With your partner: create a note that includes:

an image, a tag, and place it in a notebook,

Brainstorm a list of ways you could use this tool for yourselves.
