Yesterday I spent some time with my new friend, Evernote, which is why I was delighted when I went to FreeTech4Teachers this morning and found the video above on its new features. Evernote is an app that lets you take notes, clip webpages and even record items that you want to remember. I like the latter best because I always have my students write down their homework on their phones or iPod touches. Well now you can record notes on your phone, iPod, etc. and hear them later on the same device or online. What is great is that it is synched with the web so a student could go on the site online and also see their homework. You can also share notes with other people (similar to Google Docs). You can also create notebooks and put notes in each.
Here is the app for Apple users (iPhone, iPod, etc.) and here.
Finally if you like Evernote, you might want to add their blog to your iGoogle page.

One of the questions I often get is where do I get my information. Well I have a Twitter feed, iGoogle page and Google+. One of my iGoogle feeds is the "Offical Google Blog" which today announced one place to get all your Google products...
- Relocating Your Lost Smartphone
Okay so two weeks ago my cell phone died and I went from a simple device that could only call someone (yes this is surprising for many who know me) to one who can now text (to my wife's relief) and get on the cloud from my phone. Bucking most...
