Episode 896 of the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast features Dr. Frank Buck sharing 5 free Evernote tools teachers and school leaders can use to stay organized and boost productivity.

A decade ago, I tried to break up with Evernote—more than once. But somehow, I always come back. Why? Because it still works.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by productivity expert Dr. Frank Buck to explore five free features of Evernote that still make it one of the best digital tools for educators.

Whether you're a teacher with a busy classroom or an administrator handling walkthroughs and meetings, you’ll find real strategies. These strategies will help you to streamline your work and reduce stress.

Whatever you do, make sure you've selected a digital notebook service that works for you. I also help my students do that as well (as I shared in my book, Reinventing Writing — this is still important!)
