Education Technology

Pegby is an interesting site that lets you get materials and information organized online and even work with others on it.

You create Boards that allow you to work online, collaborating with others or just organizing things for yourself. Each Board can have columns to help you organize the Cards in each Board. The card is a kind of post it note that you title and add descriptions to. The Cards go in Columns on the Board. You can even Stack Cards on top of each other to organize them together. You can also Tag and Filter your Boards to make it easier to work with.


It's a great way to organize notes, tasks, and other information. It's also a great way to organize your thoughts (mindmapping) and you can use it to outline research and papers.



This is a very useful tool for educators and students to use.

Fetchnotes is a new, simple and easy to use, cloud based note taking app. It's simplicity makes it very useful because you don't have to worry about or learn a bunch of functions. It's great for taking notes and staying organized.

There are apps available for iOS, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux. Your notes are also available on the web. All notes are available on each device.

You can capture and organize short notes and access them via the web, mobile device and computer. You can even assign hashtags to the notes to help you better organize them. You simply open the app, hit the plus button and type the note and then add the hashtag to organize it. It makes it faster and simpler to create and organize your notes. You can even create a note via text message from a non-smartphone.

Many smartphones come with simple note taking apps, but most don't sync to any other devices like Fetchnotes does.

If you are looking for advanced features, Fetchnotes is not for you. Take a look at Evernote instead.

If you are looking for a simple note taking app, that allows you to access your notes across multiple devices, then Fetchnotes is for you.

Springpad is a great note taking and organizing app and service that I've reviewed before and really like. It is similar to Evernote in many ways, but also has some differences. Springpad is free and has web and mobile apps for iOS and Android.

Springpad allows you to create and organize tasks in a different way than Evernote, and organizes your notes differently. You can take notes, clip web sites, create task lists, and more, just like in Evernote, but you can also import data from a bar code, search by location, and add photos. You can organize things by notebooks and tags like in Evernote, but Springpad also has "The Board" which is a digital cork board to help you organize the important things.


Updates are to the web app, the iPhone and iPad apps, and the Android app
