Its been too long between posts about Evernote so alas, here I am again.

I tweeted my Evernote page again this morning as I hope that each time I do, someone new accesses it.

As a teacher, I really don’t understand why other teachers are not using it. If you have all student notes and work samples in one spot imagine how less stressful report writing will be. Yes it still takes a lot of time, but it is MUCH easier having everything in one spot and so easily accessible. In the last couple of weeks at school I have started a ‘Brekkie with a Techie’ morning and I am slowly winning by getting all staff on board and using Evernote.

I am often getting questions from various teachers asking how I set up my Evernote notebooks and notes. As a result I thought I would give you an inside look or tour of my Evernote account. This spiralled into me making a few screencasts, so if you can stand the sound of my voice for longer than 5 minutes, they could be short informative videos to help you, especially for new users.

I have also created a few to demonstrate using Kustomnote. My latest fascination on making my life at work easier.

    Thanks for sharing and great to see what you are doing with Evernote. The audio was a little soft on the middle video a little hard to hear.

    Keep up the great work.

    Thank you! Just what I needed to get into KustomNote. Loving EN and now KN. As a teacher working in 6 classes (iPads) and 2 days of
    Reading Intervention, KN and EN are really useful.

  5. @ Bec,

    I spent all afternoon playing around with Kustomnote. Can’t wait to start using them in the classroom this week!

    Thanks. I had heard of KN but never explored it untilnow. I am looking forward to letting our staff know how KN can enhance their use of EN.

    Thanks for all the comments. I am glad the screencasts have been helpful. Sorry about the low audio on the Kustomnote ones, I did them on my iPad and I have been sick so voice is already low. Should have played with the audio a bit more.

    Regards,

    Bec

    Thanks so much for the post. I have just started using Evernote myself and the screencasts of Kustomnote have shown so many more possibilities for the classroom.

  11. [...] The fabulous Bec Spink (Miss Spink on Tech) is not only a great advocate for Evernote, but she also shares tutorials and tips for using it on her blog. In fact she has a whole section of her blog devoted just to Evernote.  Bec’s work using KustomNote is also very interesting. KustomNote allows you to create custom templates for your notes, and Bec has produced some screencasts explaining how it all works. [...]
