Evernote Feedback

Evernote provided us with a new, useful way to take notes in class.  The best part about Evernote is that it was mobile.  I could access my notes on the iPad, on the computer, or on my phone, depending where I was.  Evernote is extremely easy to use, and I used it continually in class.  Another thing that I like about Evernote is that I can be sure that I will never lose my notes.  A notebook can be lost, but on Evernote, I can access my notes even if I lose the device I originally wrote it on.  I also like the fact that it saves paper.  I don't have to worry about wasted paper in a notebook, but I can just type it up and save it, then access my notes from home. Typing up notes in class was much more efficient than writing as well.  Evernote is generally a useful note-taking device, especially in a school setting.

I didn't encounter any long-term problems using Evernote.  One of the only difficulties I had was it saved my username and password, so the other students who were using the iPad could have accessed my notes.  However, I think it was only because it was a shared device.  It was only like that for a few days, and then it allowed me to fully log out.  Another small issue that I faced while using Evernote was that if the internet was down, I wouldn't be able to view my notes.  That could cause a problem if I didn't have my notes saved anywhere else and I wasn't able to get onto the computer to complete an assignment. My experience using Evernote was positive aside from those issues.  Those were the only limitations I found while I was using it.

Evernote is already a very useful tool.  As a student, it is very helpful to be able to save my notes through the internet. My only suggestion is that notes that were previously written should be accessible without an internet connection.  I think that on devices that have the Evernote application should be able to pull up previous notes and type new notes without going onto the internet.  Then, once an internet connection is found, those notes that were typed can be sent to the other devices.  That would be useful in situations where there is not WiFi, so we can utilize our notes in that way.  Overall, using Evernote has been extremely useful and helpful this year.  I will continue to use it for personal notes or class notes when I need it.
