I'm sold. Evernote is excellent! So far, anyway. I have been using it exclusively for about two weeks now, and I have found it incredibly helpful as I start a number of new things this year.
First, I set up a section for getting some things done this year. I have a daily template I set up to help me move forward on reading, health goals, and general betterment.
I have also found it a -great- help in organizing notes and projects for the teaching credential program I'm going through. I have a stack dedicated to each class and a notebook dedicated to projects.
I am also using it for unit planning, lesson planning, and making notes...so many notes.
The best part of Evernote is that it's cloud-based. I use Evernote primarily on my laptop. But, all my notes are available on my iPhone. Anything in Evernote is on my iPhone. This includes my schedule, notes, PDFs, and pictures. I used Evernote as a central depository for notes I took to study for the Earth and Planetary Science CSET last weekend. I didn't have to carry around a notebook or text books. I had it all in my pocket.
I'm looking for more ways to implement Evernote in the classroom, and I'll try and add my thoughts here as they come up.
