Evernote - An Earnest Attempt to Organize Everything

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.
