Evernote in the Classroom

     Evernote seems like a very good program. I did not personally use it but I heard many of the students liked it a lot and it was very helpful. The main reason why I didn’t choose to use it was simply because I didn’t have the time. Between all the homework I got from my classes I kept forgetting to set up an account. Also I didn’t really want to put the time and effort in figuring out how to use a whole new system when mine was working out perfectly. I would take my notes each day in class on my email and then when class was over I would just email it to myself and that way I would have all my notes in one place. From what I have heard Evernote is practically the same as what I was doing. Since it was also half way through the year when I heard what it was even if I started using it I would have had half of my notes on Evernote and half of my notes on my email and I would just prefer to keep them as a whole in one place. I’m sure Evernote is a great program and maybe next year I will begin using it.

     I don’t really think they should do anything differently. I think they have a good program. I wasn’t against it I just didn’t have the time and wasn’t that interested in figuring out how to use it. Maybe to get people like me to join they could explain how easy it is and what you need to do to create an account. Before our teacher introduced it to us I had never heard of it or really what it was for. The only suggestion I really have is that they emphasize more how easy it is and its purpose. The one thing I really know about it still is that it is something people take notes using. More people would probably join if they knew what it was.
