The ability to use Evernote’s powerful built-in search tool, along with it the related notes feature will help better coordinate efforts and save time within any Advancement office. With all of these materials and information finding just what you need can save time as well.


The collateral materials that are produced in support of these efforts is enormous and knowing what has been done and sharing that with the appropriate people is key. Notebooks for individual students can be created to hold all of this and shared with the team.ĪDVANCEMENT OFFICE: Fundraising is a big part of any school and making sure everyone is on the right page with a campaign, current project, a particular donor or any ongoing solicitations is very important.

Once the student has gone through the entire admissions process that information then needs to be shared with an Admissions Committee and those committee members need to add their notes, tags and comments as well. The information on a student first comes in via a phone call, the web or an email and then is added to by not only the admissions officers, but the classroom teachers, coaches and other faculty a potential student may meet with while visiting the school. How this differs from a standard notebook is that if the person that created the notebook leaves the school/institution that business notebooks stays… the school owns the notebook!ĪDMISSIONS OFFICE: Admission offices have a lot of potential students that they are meeting and interviewing on a daily basis. By creating a business notebook you can share this information easily with the entire team. There will be a team or teams of people working on the materials, training resources and other collateral materials (web sites, picture clippings, audio notes, etc.) that will need to be shared. What might Business Notebooks look like in a school?ĪCADEMIC OFFICE: Consider an academic office that is working on a new curricular initiative or program within the school. Here are just a few of my early thoughts on how Evernote Business might fit into your school (K-12, college and university). The offerings in Evernote Business allow school to do this much easier. There are groups of people meeting to go over projects or initiatives, various offices that have information that they need to share amongst their members as well as school-wide (company-wide) information that needs to be disseminated. Outside of the classroom schools function a lot like a business. While the focus was clearly on the “business” user, the offerings were very appealing to educational institutions as a whole and I was very excited. My first look at Evernote Business was when I attended last years Evernote Trunk Conference and heard the announcement of this new service. Yesterday, in an email announcement, Evernote opened up Evernote Business for education.
