notes & digital course materials

[ladylearner]

I just discovered a note taking application called EverNote. You can access your notes using the app online from any computer/phone/tablet. Ive been organizing my notes by chaper within the app, and you can attach the digital course material or pdf to the notes...you can also include a link if need be. I really like it.

Just figured out that I can create separate "notebooks" within my notes. It allows you to drag specific notes into these "notebooks" that you can re-title to whatever you'd like. I'm going to title my notebooks by course name. This will allow me to futher organize my course notes.

I do love Evernote. I had a premium subscription but decided to cancel this year since I already use Google Drive. Currently, I do a combination of writing things out, typing, and annotating the course materials/PDFs. I scan the handwritten notes at work and save them to the appropriate Google Drive folder, much like I would with Evernote. I think Evernote is better for notetaking and Drive is better for archiving and organizing but since I'm already using Google for everything else, I decided to stick with it. When we do group work, I use Google Docs to collaborate.
