Web 2.0 Tools: Evernote

Evernote is an app that is designed for note taking, organizing, and archiving. It has numerous options for note taking and keeping notes, including text, web clippings, pictures, voice memos, handwritten notes, making sketches, and scanning documents with your camera. It is a great tool for staying organized in school or in your job or even just keeping track of your daily tasks and to-do's. Evernote is available on iOS, Android, macOS, and Microsoft Windows and will automatically sync everything on your account across all of your devices. This, along with the option to set reminders and make specific appointment notes, allows you to remain time-efficient and provides ease of access for anyone, from student to professional.

To see the app in use and get a quick breakdown of how it can be utilized, you can view my presentation here.
