So, let me hold your hand and show you how easy it really is. It seems like the biggest stumbling block homeschool moms have to using Evernote for their home or homeschooling is the hurdle of not knowing how to start, combined with a fear of learning a new set of tricks and of not doing it “right.” So don’t let your gadgets go to waste use them to make your life simpler. Flipping through a binder or file folder or pile, wondering just what you did with that list you are sure you made? A thing of the past.Ī homeschool Evernote system allows you the ability to find the information you need by searching for it, to expand the amount of information you save and generate without taking up any more space, to shrink your paper files by digitizing and then shredding them, and to easily share information with your husband, grandparents, or friends. Better yet, rather than remember where you put a note, you can simply search for it – “Google” straight in your filing cabinet and it pulls up what you are looking for.Īfter all, being able to search, from my desktop, inside every document, my contacts, and my calendar all at once is the biggest boon of digital information. Your digital filing cabinet means that you don’t have to deal with and sort through so much paper – and also don’t have to worry about losing notes, spilling coffee on them, or keeping them filed just so. Mostly it holds what has been paper in your life, but what doesn’t have to be paper anymore. Think of Evernote as your digital filing cabinet. It’s a bucket into which you can put anything: text notes, pictures, scans, pdfs, emails. Why homeschool moms should use EvernoteĮvernote is basically a digital blank canvas. I’ve refined how I use it, I’ve talked with other moms who use it, and I’ve noticed online that there are many more people curious about it than people actually using it, so I thought it’d make a great blog series: How to use Evernote for homeschooling. I’ve been using Evernote for at least five years now.

If you’ve been around here for any amount of time, you’ve probably noticed that I love Evernote.
