idea behind Evernote is to simplify and
organize your life by giving a place to keep all of
notes, images, files, web clips, etc. all in one place.
 Using cloud based technology, Evernote allows you
to sync your phone, computer, and tablet devices
so that you have your files and documents
wherever you are. One of the best things about it is
that it’s free!

Once you have your note, you can organize it by
creating a notebook, or category for your notes.
Directly under your Title, Evernote automatically places
notes in your default notebook. To change this, click on
the notebook.
From her you can find the correct notebook category
your note belongs in such as “To-Do Lists,” or “RTI
meetings.” If you don’t already have a notebook for that
category you can create a new one.

14. How to: Create Tags
 Tag
: Keyword(s) for your notes. Think #hashtags
 Once you have your note, you can further
organize it by creating a Tag, or keyword for your
notes. You can search your notes later on for
Tags, and Evernote can categorize them for you.
 For example, I could tag this document as
“Evernote,” “technology”, “collaboration,” and “
PLC.” You can have as many tags as you want.

15. How to: Create Tags
 Directly
next your notebook, click the green word
that says “more.” More will change into “Add
Tag”
 Type a new tag, or choose an existing one by
clicking the (+) symbol. This will allow to search
and find a tag you have already created.
 You will note on your Evernote home screen that
Evernote can categorize your notes by TAG so
quickly search for keyword topics.

19. How to: Insert Attachments
 attachment:
picture, audio, documents etc.
 At the top of your note, you will see a paperclip
symbol (just like your email)
 When you click it, Evernote will give you options to
upload an attachment from a camera, document
camera, saved photo or even an audio clip.

21. How to: Insert Attachments
 The
audio clip functions allows to you record
sound, such as a lecture or grade level meeting,
while allowing you to take notes at the same time.
 Did one of your students create an awesome
project or give a great response to a common
formative assessment? Snap a picture and attach
it a note. You can share this note with your
colleagues later on
