Thing 6 Organizing and Saving Content Online
I totally love Evernote. I have not really used it since I got the account, but this forced me to explore it and I realize it is key for organizing my online sources. I have been filing things in emails and really it is pathetic and I can never find the articles or video's or images I saved. It is also great for adding things people send to me. I can have a folder for Language and Literature and different parts of the course and then break them down in to topics. I will definitely be using Evernote now. I didn't like Pocket as much, I found it a bit harder to navigate and save content. It took me a little while to figure it out. I do not think I will use this one as most of what I find and save is long term. Enjoyed this activity and already have several folders for my start of the year in 11th grade.
Wendy, I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying Evernote! I hope that it will help next year with keeping your courses organized and make it easier to find stuff you've saved online. I love the tagging feature-- it helps me still find things I saved a few years ago, which has been priceless. I'm actually hoping to try it with Grade 9 and 10 students next year during their research projects. Fingers crossed that it goes well! Thanks for the post.
