Lesson Plans
I have an entire notebook dedicated to High School student teaching. I have divided up the notebook into easily accessible sub-notebooks that I refer to quite frequently. All my lesson plans are easily accessible; It did take me a few weeks to settle on a good notebook setup.
Each lesson plan is titled with an 8 digit day stamp (yyyymmdd) and I have the notebook listed by Title in Reverse Sort Order, leaving the latest lesson plan on top.
Tags
I have not used tags for a couple of weeks now. I have found that the search function is quite sufficient to get me back to the notes I can't find. This may be a bad idea, but it's working for now.
The Web
I follow a number of blogs ranging from science miscellany to education stuff. When I use the Feedly iPad app and I find something interesting, I simply email it to my Evernote Post email address. I have set up a "Holding" notebook in Evernote where all these articles are sent. Then, I can review an article at length, file if if I'll refer to it again, or delete it if it won't be valuable in the future.
I was using Pocket to hold articles of interest, but now with the Evernote Web Clipper (Chrome) and the Evernote Email address, I no longer need Pocket.
Going Paperless
This makes me so happy. I am using the Document Capture feature on the iPhone version of Evernote to copy all manner of papers. Once synced, I recycle the paper. The document is now available on any device connected to the cloud. This has come in handy during meetings, during lesson planning, and in class.
I have also used my Evernote email address when I scan documents to pdf and have them emailed to me. This saves so much time and paper.
I love the freedom from being tied to information on a single piece of paper.
