What is Evernote?

Evernote is a way to get organized. It is a great resource that allows you to easily capture information using whatever device or operating system you use. It then makes this information accessible and searchable from anywhere. Their tagline: “Remember Everything.” It is a digital notebook that allows you to take text notes, clip web pages, upload images and files, and much more.


You can capture task lists, notes, web pages, white boards, business cards, pictures, and even clip web pages or parts of webpages to Evernote.

It is easy to use, very powerful, and there are plenty of places to get help using it.

Accessible on all platforms and devices.



Does it Cost Money?

Yes and No. There is a free version that is very, very powerful and there is a premium version that adds features and higher limits. https://evernote.com/compare-plans

Easily share resources and information with students or colleagues. Education page has tips, how-to’s, tutorials, case studies and more. 

The Evernote Blog 


Teachers: Organize your lesson plans in Evernote.

You can put all your notes, outlines, activities, research, etc in Evernote and have it searchable and accessible from anywhere. That way you can start working on a lesson plan at home then continue working on your computer in your class. You can tag lesson plans with specific topics or subjects to make calling them up the next school year even easier.

I use Evernote to collect and organize information, notes, meeting notes, lesson plans, resources to use in my classroom, resources to share with my students, and much more. You can also share your notes with others, so I've shared some notes with my students or colleagues.

Students can use Evernote to collect data from the web, take notes in class, organize their work, and collaborate on projects, create task lists, organize projects and collect data, and much more.
