Emailing Into Evernote Just Got Better Posted by Andrew Sinkov on 16 Mar 2010 Comment One of the many ways to get stuff into your Evernote account is by sending notes to your personal Evernote email address. Today, we launched a big improvement to this functionality that lets you specify the destination Notebook and assign Tags to your emailed notes. How it works First, find your Evernote incoming email address. Next, try emailing something into Evernote. Use @ for notebooks: Use an @ symbol followed by the name of your destination notebookUse # for tags: Use a # symbol followed by the tag or tags you wish to assign. For example, Subject: Trip to Florida @travel #expense report Would create a note titled Trip to Florida in my travel notebook, tagged with expense report.

Creating Book Trailers with iPads When I found out our school was going 1:1, I was very excited. I felt ready to ntegrate technology due to coursework I had taken through our local writing project, Prairie Lands Writing Project. This learning track is structured around 21st Century learning. We experienced many technology integrated writing assignments to better engage students in the writing process. We all know how traditional book reports work: read a book, then write a summary to prove you read the book. So what is a Book Trailer? Here is a sample: Deep and Dark and Dangerous by Mary Downing Hahn Ready to try your own? Read and book.Write a summary outline. As students began finishing their projects, we had a class viewing party to watch their Book Trailers. Here is a sample of an unfinished book trailer we viewed during the viewing party: Carley’s Book Trailer After the viewing party, students gave suggestions and asked questions of the creators.

Top 10 Best Android Apps for Teachers - PinDigit How Things Changed With @Evernote I'll admit it. I have to be one of the most unorganized people on the planet. I have notebooks in just about every bag I carry. I have more than 10 different types of projects going on at anyone time. Organization isn't really in my vocabulary. Well, let me say, it wasn't in my vocabulary. But it is now, thanks to Evernote. I had tried Evernote in the past. Ok, so what is it? To boil it all down. Here is a view of my current notebooks.

7 Great Note-taking Tools for Teachers and Students This is another post that was prompted by a reader's email. The email was looking for a list of recommended note-taking tools. I've reviewed a lot of note-taking tools over the last five years, but I have never made a list. InClass is a free iPhone and iPad app that could be a very useful tool for students carrying those devices. Color Note is a simple note-taking app that I've been using on all of my Android phones for the last year (yes, it's been a rough year for phones in my life). Save Meeting is a meeting recording app for iOS and Android devices. Notes.io offers a simple platform for taking and sharing notes. No list of note-taking tools would be complete without mentioning Evernote. mySchoolNotebook is a service for taking, saving, and sharing notes online and offline. If your students are already in the habit of using Google Documents to create documents, presentations, and spreadsheets it just makes sense that they take notes in Google Docs too.
What Do You Mean Evernote Could Get Better? Last time I wrote about the way I organize myself completely changed for the better with Evernote.

Evernote for Education Android App: I use the desktop version at home and the office, the Android app on my HTC One smartphone, my tablets, web version on my Chromebook. The desktop version sync's all of the data to your computer (good for backup) and you can also export your notes in a variety of formats for backup. You can create new notes via desktop, web, or mobile version. You can also use your camera phone or web cam to take a snapshot and Evernote can even recognize the text in the image. This is very useful for capturing signs, posters, printed memos, and more and then being able to search for text inside the image. You can upload attachments to your notes in Evernote to keep documents organized with the notes they go with. You can also email notes, clip web pages, record audio notes, and scan papers, receipts and more into Evernote. I love Evernote. Does it Cost Money? Yes and No. All accounts have a limit of 100,000 notes. How Can I use Evernote as a Teacher, Student, Administrator? 1. 2. 3. Summary
My Tribute to Evernote: A Student's Guide Continuing my overview of Kierkegaard's challenging work on Christian love. My goal is to reflect what Kierkegaard says, not what I think on the subject. Despite not showing preference, one is not to stop loving their beloved, since to do so would be contradictory as the neighbour is everyone. Only the preferential should be taken out of love, not the love itself. The more preferentially one loves, the further from neighbourly love one gets. Man's kinship is to God, and since God is love and man is to be in God's likeness, man must love as God loves - without prejudice and without distinction. Therefore, the highest love is neighbourly love. Friendship and erotic love require additional objects to love, however neighbourly love has no object, just love. Even non-Christians display Christian love when they shutter at certain forms of distinction (e.g. caste system). However, Christianity - though making all men equal - has not taken away distinctions.
Technology I'm using daily as a School District CIO This past November I started a new chapter in my career and became the Chief Information Officer (CIO) for the district I was a teacher in for 10 years. It combines my experience as a teacher and educational technology specialist, as well as my 10 years as an engineer and project manager, into one very exciting, busy, crazy, rewarding job. I am responsible for the IT department, as well as coordinating with the data teams and all technology issues and projects. In the past, I've written about the technology I used on a daily basis as a teacher. Evernote - Evernote, an electronic notebook with lots of great features, is my main tool. As CIO, I have created multiple notebooks. I also upload files as attachments to Evernote so that I can easily access them anywhere, on any device. I also use the Clip to Evernote extension for Chrome (my browser of choice) to clip web articles for future reference. Another great feature is the Outlook to Evernote extension.
