What I’m Reading: A Shared Notebook

04/27/11 By 2 Comments

I have written extensively on how I use Evernote to manage my daily life, and I hit a few times upon the fact that Evernote allows users to share any of their notebooks with the general public. I have taken the next step in my Evernote life by setting up my first such notebook, which I am excited to share with you today.

There is so much great content out there. Between blog posts, web articles, books, recordings, and musical scores, it becomes difficult to keep track of all the “stuff” I want to consume. I have created a notebook, called “Things to Read” for lack of a more creative title, in which I am compiling all the books and scores I hope to purchase, the articles I plan to read, and the musical recordings I hope to hear. The notebook will be updated frequently with new content, and once I do read something on this list, I will remove it. This way, the notebook always only contains the most recent things on my mind.

This is what my shared notebook looks like. Check it out!

The notebook is publicly visible, and can be accessed at any time by clicking the link below. It is updated automatically when I make a change. Do you have any suggestions for books I should add to my reading list? Please leave them in a comment!

Enter Evernote… Here’s how I use Evernote all throughout the process of developing a presentation:

I am about halfway done with my student teaching (and I have been reflecting on it in my first three editions of the Student Teacher’s Notebook) on my way to graduation. One of the requirements that the University of Miami has of its associate teachers in Music is that we keep a binder containing observations, copies of our lesson plans, and reflections on each lesson we teach. While our supervisors ask for a hard-copy of the notebook, I choose to maintain mine in Evernote, and print when they need. Here’s how: [Read more...]
