You will see the following “eye” icon on some documents (particularly those that are not PDFs):Ĭlicking on the “eye” will open a viewing window, similar to that of Google Drive (which we will get to later this semester).ĭocuments are easily viewable and searchable. What if a document isn’t immediately viewable within the note? This way, when I am looking to organize and prioritize my assignments and readings for the week, all of my documents are in the same place. All notes are searchable based on words and phrases within the note, as well as tags assigned to the note.Īs you can see above, I have a notebook specifically for class syllabi. Within each notebook, you have notes which are organized by date created or modified. Each of my classes this semester is given its own notebook, which I have then organized into a note stack titled “RIT Spring 2014”.

Today’s installment is a brief introduction to Evernote a web, mobile, and desktop app that stores notes of all shapes and sizes (including images, drawings, presentation slides, documents, tables and graphs) in Notebooks, which can then be categorized into note stacks.įor example: My Evernote account has many notebooks, some of which are organized into stacks based on a common theme. This week we begin a series called Hacking Your Education, focusing on apps, products, and services that help students and young professionals be more organized, happy, and productive.
