This week focused on the exploration of Evernote. Evernote is a tool that allows users to archive, organize, and manage information, including documents, images, bookmarks, etc., on any device that has/ uses the internet. During my exploration with Evernote, I learned that it has many aspects that allows you to not only write your notes, but to also share it between yourself and other individuals you choose to share your notes with. Evernote also includes quick and easy features such as the web clipping tool that makes not taking that much simple. What I really like about this tool is that I can access my notes either on my laptop, phone, and even my iPad. This, I find to be very convenient especially because as a student I am always rushing to pack my things and get ready for class, so it's good that I can just shut my laptop and open it later and my notes are still there. Another advantage/ benefit I found is that your notes are set to save automatically. I really like this because my computer likes to do weird things sometimes, like shut off randomly, however, because my notes are already saved, I don't have to worry about losing anything! Lastly, it is a good way to be organized and stay organized, to have accumulated pieces of information/ research in one convenient place.
Evernote will be useful in my educational activities because all my notes and links I have in my notebook are altogether and labelled with 'tags' so nothing gets lost. Additionally, Evernote's alerts feature will be very useful in my educational activities because it reminds users of certain notes to be to be mindful of in order to meet any academic need. The reminder feature will, more specifically, help me because with so much going on with my academic and personal life, I tend to loose sight of what needs o get done. Therefore, this feature will help me to stay on track by sending me reminder emails, being that I'm always checking my emails, it will really help. Generally speaking, alerts could be sent to phones, which we all have, so it will be helpful for everyone!
Evernote could be added to my PLE by having it placed in the collaborate or aggregate sections of my PLE. Because I can send my work in Evernote to Google Docs, Twitter, etc., it would best fit in any of these two sections.
An article I read this week was from College Blender titled 95 Inspiring Websites of Web Design Agencies. This article expresses ways to make a web design that inspires the maker and viewers of the maker. The article provides a list of the top 95 websites that inspire individuals to make web designs similar to what inspires them but made to relate to them more. This article will help you to get thinking about your goals and
to get creative with them. There are many sites made available to help you with that, so get started people!
