Evernote is an awesome tool for keeping thoughts and ideas organized. Its like my brain and filing cabinet online. I can access it from any device (it syncs in the cloud) so I can keep notebooks about topics like grocery lists, travel, meetings, finances, anything.

I spent the day getting google-y at TCEA in Austin, in the first of a three day "Becoming a Google Apps For Education Certified Trainer." It was an information filled day, but lots of fun learning new google tips and tricks. I am very excited to begin this journey as an Instructional Technologist.

I have to say, it was a little weird to introduce myself as Courtney Stevens, District Instructional Technologist, not Courtney Stevens, Principal.
