The Evernote Web Clipper allows you to save anything you see on the web quickly and easily straight into your Evernote account. You can clip a full page, single article or just the URL and save it to a designated Notebook and add tags. Your web clips then become searchable within your Evernote account.

Using Evernote as an organisational tool in the classroom has changed the way I assess students, keep notes and records and complete many day to day tasks.

Any time we talk about Evernote, a good number of you say the same thing: you've tried it time and time again, but you could never really "get into it."

The 4 goals stated in this post tie in with Alan's philosophy nicely.

From 8th January - 22nd March I chose one class, my First Year class (aged 11-12) to give up using exercise books, reading books and textbooks. Instead, they would use only digital mediums that were available to them through an iPad that they were supplied with during each lesson.

"One of the great advantages of the internet is the convenience of cloud based services where you can store documents, pictures, bookmarks or notes and access them on any device with an internet connection. Despite this level of convenience it is still important to maintain backups of your data in the case of unforeseen circumstances, such as your account being hacked or a service shutting down.
