Scrapbook Challenge #14: Getting Organised

I came across EverNote when learning about Workflow and organisation and it attracted me. I saw it as an improved version of OneNote that I was using previously and decided to try it.

I have used it for note-taking, writing ideas, priorities, annotating documents and setting notifications. The tool works better both on a computer and mobile phone and it synchronises across the devices allowing you to proceed with your activities on any device that you have access to at the moment.

The tool works better on either device depending on what you are doing.

It is best on a computer for note-taking, the picture above shows my notes on digital curation which I took when leading about the topic.


It is also better for documents annotation because you can simply read and write on the same screen only to minimize and maximize one of the tools you want to use either EverNote or the content reader. The above picture shows the annotations from a report I was going through.

 It is also the best on mobile phone for writing ideas and priorities.

 you can simply write your idea anywhere, anytime if you are with your mobile phone and work for it when you have time, it can be a business or an insight. For priority, the tool works better on all devices as you can set them anywhere but the computer has the colour option and you can colour differently the accomplished activities and the colour with appear even on a mobile phone. Similar to the notification which can be set on either device, you can see the complete Cvs activity at the bottom of the pictures above, that is a notification.

EverNote is integrated and can serve multiple purposes, you can take notes, annotate, set notifications, keep videos and pictures and write down everything that you want to remember, the premium version has a lot of functions and if capable of paying it is the best tool for organizing workflow. I will continue to use EverNote and learn more on keeping images and videos and other interesting functions that I have not yet mastered

Communication fear, Cultural or what?

Image
I was thinking of removing communication skills on my CV, Thanks to this course I am pursuing  Get ready, get set, become a digital online learner .  All these years I thought I have been lying about my skills by including communication as one of them until I realized that I really have it. Communication has changed a bit nowadays as a result of digital disruption that has made the connection very easy and adds an asynchronous aspect, that you do not need to be together or be at the same time zone to communicate.  When I started working my communication experience was quite different from what I expected, I was added to WhatsApp groups, given an email account, phone numbers of my colleagues and told to express anything and that it could be of value to the organization. I thought communication was brought to its simplest level, but it was not the case. I did not know much about an organization and most of the work that we were doing, I was very junior to my colleagues and I

Scarbook chalange #11: 4 C's of using social media for online learning

I have followed @julielindsey @kwezilukas @Tanzania youth economic forum @womenmoves on tweeter, facebook and Instagram @world economic forum @kamatafursatz @ecovalleytz @charles stuart uni and @saveelderstanzania, hashtags that I follow are #getreadyDOL #education #enterpreneur what I have found interesting to read was about communication disability, that failure to master some of communication components like fluency and intelligibility makes us disabled. I related this to uncertainty culture where the freedom of expression is highly hindered despite of ones level of civilization or education and fluency. The other interesting thing was about measures of education success and digital technologies to revolutionize the sector whereby as the measures correlates higher level achievement to earnings and integrating social aspects of education equity and social mobility and going further to consider the joy of learning and cognitive pedagogy and leverage on technology to ensure collabor

Learning; Knowing where to find it in your network

Image
Image by  Carwash.com I have gone through a learning experience that almost confused me until I met open learning and come to a conclusion of what learning is to me. I remember my first question on a history session at advanced level, I asked my teacher " you are saying the Buganda Kingdom was the biggest in East Africa but I remember one of the reasons Buganda collaborated with the British colonialist was fear of their enemy camp Bunyoro which was the biggest, so which is which" he replied well and I remember the answer but I had learned about collaboration  at ordinary level, we were not taught about that yet but I saw that relationship with what I already know. When at higher learning I had a tendency of using everything I remember from kindergarten to high school in answering exams, I could answer something that I heard from friends conversation to a story I had from my teachers or in public transport if I see it useful at the moment. I had developed my learning
