Week 6 Post

This week I was introduced to a new online tool called Evernote.  Like many tools we are learning in this course I have never used Evernote before.  In order to gain a better understanding of what the website offers I had to do some external research from what the information provided on Sakai.  Evernote offers a variety of different features and even connects to other social media platforms such as Twitter.  Once I get a better grasp on this program I think it will definitely be a significant help with organization for my courses.  Taking notes in class on laptop is so convenient and now I know I can store them online but also view them on not only my laptop but any device that supports Evernote.  Being able to refresh my memory from that one term that slipped my mind is now easily found by searching Evernote on my phone.  Even my tablet has access to Evernote which makes studying a little more portable. 

In adding Evernote to my PLE, especially with connecting to Twitter, it would be connected to my social media tools as well as my schooling and organization.  This seems like such a great tool that is going to make my life that much easier as a student.  Even when I finish my studies knowing how to use a tool such as Evernote I think it will come in handy in the workforce and if not I will definitely maintain it for my personal use!
