Welcome back everyone,
First off I would like to say that I hope everyone had a good and relaxing reading week!
After I explored Evernote I found that it is a very good tool to use in multiple different aspects. For one, I find that this is very useful when I am doing a research project or paper and I am able to have all of my information in one section and easy access. For this particular course I find that it is going to be useful as we work on our research project because I am able to share with my group members and show them what I have and I am able to see what work they have so that we do not overlap and make sure that we are not collecting the same information. When looking for valid and reliable resources I make sure that they are not websites that anyone can access and put information in because then I feel as though some of the information would not be valid. I also look to make sure that it is a professional website and that the information is reliable.
As we are working our way through this course my PLE is expanding every week because of all the different tools we are using and exploring. I will 100% be putting Evernote into my PLE. I believe that Evernote would fit into a couple of sections on my PLE such as organization and create. I believe that it fits into both of these categories because when it comes to organization everything is right there in front of you once you have bookmark, clipped, etc. Then when it comes to create you are able to create these notes that have pictures, videos and other academic articles in them as well and you have the option to share with another person.
I find that this week really ties into digital literacy because even in this weeks instructions and activities we were given multiple different options on how to view the instructions or the video to know what we were doing. Going off of this the tool Evernote that we learned about this week is also something that goes along with digital literacy because we were exploring a new tool and as we added new information to that tool we were able to learn about different topics (this week it was focused on our research topic) and would be able to revisit the webpages that we have bookmarked for later.
The last thing I want to mention this week is that this week a lot of my articles or other posts on my Feedly this week can't really connect to the topic this week, because I am doing digital communication for my research project I tried to find one that related, but unfortunately did not have any luck this week! But I will keep my eyes open! But there was one article that I read, and if you did not know this about me I am a big animal lover and an article came up about how a dog in Nova Scotia saved a family from a fire. This article really touched my heart because I think that is incredible that a dog is able to do that and risk their lives to save their families.
Until next time,
Amanda :)
