I remain hopeful!Ī snapshot of my main notebook for this class, which concerns my digital archive. Evernote might, given some more time and patience, help me to become the great note taker I have always wanted to be, or at least become a little bit better.
That makes her happy and I find it inspiring. It gives a 360-degree view of her life, all of which she can access via her phone. She uses it for recipes, personal organization and work. A very good friend of mine swears by Evernote for all aspects of her life. In short, I am going to keep on working with Evernote and see where it goes. Yet, every digital platform created is a small advancement and opportunity to create something better. These are the tools have helped change the way we learn, communicate, and think. On the other hand, there are those platforms or devices that have changed our lives forever. Many have tried to create new ways to gather and share information but not many have succeeded for the long term. As history has proven, mass-adopted technological developments are few and far between. We also want it to happen immediately, with little effort. We want digital tools and technology to conform to our practices and preferences and function exactly as we do. Using it in Creating Digital History has proven to make note taking a hundred times easier and the quality is infinitely better than using a pen and paper or trying to organize a notebook.
If I could use Evernote ongoing, from class to class, it might make navigating and exploiting all its benefits that much easier. All notes must be written using pen and paper.
Oddly, my program (Costume Studies) does not allow technology in classrooms of any kind-no computers, phones, etc. You have to have found some kind of spark and want to use it everyday. It allows for easy organization and recalling your notes but only if you put in the time to organize and create tabs. It helps gather information quickly and easily, clipping items or whole pages as you research. But one could argue technology is also only as good as the user.Īs most of my classmates have listed in their reviews, there are great aspects to Evernote. Evernote doesn’t really feel natural, nor does it look great. It must look interesting and appealing and feel natural, not forced. Good design creates a memorable user experience and keeps us coming back for more. Until digital tools become second nature we always find fault with the UX, complain about the process and eventually abandon it in search of something better. The biggest challenge with technology is always learning to use it.
