Let’s See An Example

• I would like to make a classroom Agenda– 1st Create a new Notebook for Agenda

– 2nd Create New Note

– Next, Title your new Note and begin typing

– In Evernote, you have the same text options as a basic Word Document using the tools below

Why would you need this??

• Consider the following:– Ideas for School Projects/Lessons (that you think of at

random locations)– Your To Do list looks like a mountain of yellow sticky notes– Perfect place for grocery lists– Remember those special movie dates, B-days, and

passwords.– Prescriptions (quick list of what your taking for those Dr.

appointments)– Quick Picture (see a flyer, phone number, Business Card,

etc.)

To Do Lists…my favorite• This helps keep

me on track and I can quickly check at starbucks, while cooking dinner, before bed, etc.

I have installed Evernote on all my devices to keep me extra efficient!

You can also insert pictures & files…big help if you don’t have time to go to email and attach

I especially like this when I’m out

shopping for clothes or trying to decorate

the home, etc.

Also use it for files that I need to easily retrieve.
