It continues to amaze me as to “how powerful” the twitterverse can be. We often take for granted
the scope of its impact as we skim, scan, and scurry through our tweets,
retweets, and favorites. Just last night, during the #moedchat on
Multi-tasking, I was looking at my Evernote app and I was trying to figure out “What’s
all the hype over Evernote and this little green app?” Back in February I attended
METC13 and learned about the amazing benefits of Evernote (among several other
excellent apps, programs, and devices). So,
I jumped in on the Evernote bandwagon.
Today,
nearly three months after first taking on the task of discovering and working
to understand the mystique and magic of Evernote, I am still baffled about its
popularity. Well, who comes to my rescue? My PLN of course. I posed an off the
topic question (as I was multitasking during the chat), to see if anyone could
help me with Evernote. Instantaneously several members of my cohort jumped in
with advise, suggestions, and ideas for me to implement. One colleague quickly
posted a link for LiveBinders on Evernote tutorials (ow.ly/kT74h). It was even suggested that we start an “Evernote
user group”. Excellent idea. Can’t wait.
Only via
Social Media can you get such depth and breadth of energy, enthusiasm, and
mentoring. In the span of just over an hour, colleagues from across Missouri and
the country gathered to share ideas. My big “take away” tonight is… “I can rely
on my PLN to help me with a question, topic, or issue. I can learn from my
colleagues no matter where they are (in MO or across the US).
Yes, PLNs
work for me. Do they work for you?
