Remember Everything!
@https://www.evernote.com/evernote/ - find out more about Evernote.

Their motto is the truth. The beauty of this is that it syncs across computers. You can access it online at school, make notes and save them. You can then go home, go back onto the website, sign up and all your notes are there.

If you have a smartphone, you can download the free app (iPhone and Android) and use it on the go. You can access and edit old notes and create new ones. It //automatically// syncs it with the server, so when you go online, any changes or updates you have made are automatically there. There is also a computer program (windows and pc) that you can download and install as well.

You are able to 'clip' full webpages, allowing you to explore them later on.

You are also able to have collaborative notebooks where students have access to relevant topics. You are able to upload all sorts of files and images to evernote, so you can begin to use it in a way that works best for you. If you see a print article that you would like to remember later, you are able to take a photo with your phone and it will upload it to the evernote server. It is then possible to search through that document by typing words within it that you would like to find.

Here is a video explaining Evernote in a bit more detail:

I use it for lesson ideas, to do lists and to clip websites I would like to view later. Below is a video documenting how an American High School uses Evernote with its pupils.
