Evernote - A Powerhouse App for School Leaders
Summer is a great time for school leaders to learn how to use Evernote - a powerhouse app for notetaking, archiving, and collaborating. Remembering things big and small has never been easier and searching for your information can occur in seconds. Evernote can be accessed via a computer, phone, tablet and internet and easily synchronizes with iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, the web, Linux, and more, ensuring that you always have access to your most up-to-date files. Evernote offers a free version that has plenty to offer or an upgraded version which provides additional features.
Evernote's popularity with school leaders is growing due to its ability to:
-Â utilize cloud storage (all of your information can be accessed from multiple devices such as phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops)
- easy note taking features that can be instantly organized, reorganized, and quickly searched (turns your iPad or other iOS devices into productivity machines in which you can find any email, website, or file within seconds)
- archiving features allow you to easily store pdf files, receipts, photos, audio files (great for archiving investigations, contracts, professional reading articles, personnel files, student and teacher portfolios, etc.)
- activating the share feature allows multiple users to collaborate on single documents and access shared folders (great for collaborating on building master schedules, curriculum, lesson planning etc.)
Join other school leaders as we explore how Evernote can make your work more effective and efficient. This session will specifically look at the use of Evernote for school leaders and provide practical strategies as well as time to experiment.
Participants are encouraged to bring multiple digital devices (laptop, tablet, phone) so they can explore Evernote's synching features. However, only one personal digital device is required in order to participate in this session. Please download the Evernote app (free) prior to attending to ensure access on your device.
