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. Check it out or let me show you how I use evernote to simplify my life! Another awesome addition to evernote, is the evernote web clipper extension found in the Chrome WebStore. This allows you to clip any webpage or article on the internet to your evernote. For example, if you find something you could use for a lesson you are teaching just clip it and label it and when the time comes it is available in your evernote.
