What is Evernote?

-Evernote is website that can be used to store text, pictures, information and graphics online. It gives the user access to saved material anywhere there is a computer. There is no longer a need to keep up with pesky jump drives or have external hard drives anymore. Evernote has the ability to eliminate all of those.

What are the benefits of Evernote? - Students have the ability to pull up or save any information or graphic they find on the web at any computer they are at. Say they happen across an image they think would be relevant to a project they have but have nowhere to save the image. That image can be saved to Evernote and brought back later for use when they are at home.

- Students have the ability to transcribe notes. Sometimes a teacher talks too fast for everything to be written down. Students can record the what the teacher says and later transcribe it using one of the many apps that Evernote offers.

- The adaptability of the program is a benefit in itself. You can download it not only onto computers but on iPods and iPads as well so that it literally links all your personal devices. There are apps that let you grab images directly off sites without copying and pasting.
