comm and collab post

This project was a lot more fun. I got along better with my group members, therefore, I felt more comfortable around them.  For this project, we had to choose a creative and innovative way to do an old technique. Our group chose notebooks and note-taking. Evernote was the tool that we decided to use.
In the video we came up with different ways and scenarios in which people use their notebooks or take notes. Evernote provides an easier way to take note and it is also less of a hassle. Evernote is free, and easier to use as well as easier to keep up with.
Within the video, the scenarios were acted out in a way that people would be able to relate to. One showed when you’ve missed a day in class and you missed the notes. The next scenario shows when you can’t find what you’re looking for in your notes to answer questions in class. Another scenario is an exaggerated version of having to keep up with way too much stuff because you have so many pages of notes. The last scenario described be trying to inserted a diagram into my notes.
The video is sure to explain that the struggle to make the previously stated things easier to accomplish by using Evernote. Evernote offers lots of features that make taking notes and organizing them more simple.

Our group worked well together although it was hard to get everyone to come to class every day. A couple of our group members missed class for personal reasons and got sick on different days, but they were still able to complete their part of the project so that everyone was able to participate. We were even able to complete the assignment on time even though we lost a few days do to absences. I liked this team more than the previous one I had! We worked well together!

  1. Evernote is a really interesting app and it's awesome that your class covered it as well! No one in our class did it for this project, but we've talked about it before and another girl did it for her 20% project. Definitely an app to start using in my own endeavors.
