Evernote for Students: The Ultimate Research Tool - Education Series « Everno... - 0 views

  •  
    "Whether you're writing a paper or studying for a test, odds are you spend more time gathering the pieces than actually working. In my experience, getting all of my notes together, hunting for quotes, and tracking down bibliographical information takes at least as long, if not longer, as writing the paper itself. In a group situation, sharing research and collaborating on the production of one document is even more difficult without the proper tools. Enter Evernote. For students, it's an invaluable way to organize research and streamline the collaboration process. Here are some examples of how Evernote simplifies the student research process."

  • It's getting to the point where you're at a disadvantage if you don't have a Facebook account; you can use it to log in with the same username and password on more than two million sites -- it's not just for checking in on your cousin's newest baby pictures.
  • You can go completely invisible on Facebook -- nobody will be able to view your photographs, see your activity or where you've checked in except for existing friends -- but still have an account to use around the web.

  • some blogging services like Tumblr and WordPress seem to have avoided any decline.
  • ...2 more annotations...

Why it is better to build your Joomla site locally - 0 views

  •  
    Developing your Joomla site on your own network is a great way to get things done faster. Building your Joomla site locally is simpler and faster than uploading and waiting for each of your pages to refresh on a remote server. Building your site locally also doubles as a sandbox test environment for when your site gores live, as it is important to refrain from updating or upgrading a live site.
