Evernote is another fantastic free resource that can be extremely useful for teachers. It allows you to capture information in a number of ways and then makes that information searchable and accessible from your desktop, mobile device and the Web. Evernote is designed to help take, track, and sync notes from just about anywhere.
It is possible to take a snapshot using a camera phone or webcam and Evernote will recognise the text in the image. This is great for all those little stubs of paper such as receipts, ticket stubs, business cards, and just about any paper document.
Their website has easy to follow tutorials while their blog has many tips and ideas for teachers. Below is an extract from the blog and some useful links.
Teachers: Organize your lesson plans in Evernote.
You can put all your notes, outlines, activities, research, etc in Evernote and have it searchable and accessible from anywhere. That way you can start working on a lesson plan at home then continue working on your computer in your class. You can tag lesson plans with specific topics or subjects to make calling them up the next school year even easier.
