Ever have a great meal and then a month later forget where you ate it? Ever met somebody and see them a few months down the line and think to yourself, "That person looks familiar, but I have no idea where I know him/her from"? Ever read a great article and then spend hours on google searching for it again only to turn up empty? Well, Evernote (www.evernote.com) can be your digital memory banks. You can store text documents, audio files, and pictures in one place, and all of those files are synced across all of your digital devices. The best part is that you can organize Evernote in a way that makes sense to YOUR brain. Plus, you can share your evernote files with other users. Evernote can be used to keep track of delicious meals you cook or eat (Evernote Food), people you meet (Evernote Hello), or to plan a trip.
From an educational standpoint, you can use Evernote to organize your lesson plans and any cool videos/pictures that you come across to use in your powerpoints or on your class blog (with sources cited, of course). You can also share this information with colleagues. Evernote Hello sounds like a great tool to use to remember all of the people you will meet when you attend conferences, meetings, or staff development programs. I have downloaded Evernote to my iPhone and plan to do a bit more exploring if I ever have spare time again. :)
