So you want this college year to be a good one, and you're looking for ideas, right? Or, you have a child or someone else important to you whose college days have begun.
Tip number one would be to show up for class. But right behind it would be having a good set of notes. That's the bridge between what happened in class and what's going to happen on the test.
For me, a paper notebook and ballpoint pen were the tools. The opportunities are more plentiful now, but the aim is the same: producing a great set of notes that will help you ace the test.
Today, we’re going to look at how Evernote can help students work together. Let's look at what life could be like with Evernote in the lecture hall.
"A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between work and play; labor and leisure; mind and body; education and recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both."
Now it’s your turn…
What application do you use for notetaking and why? Is it Evernote, Notion, Google Drive, Google Keep, Apple Notes, something else? I would love to hear from you.
Technique for Using YouTube with a Group
If you are trying to show a YouTube video to a group, you know how aggravating it can be when ads interrupt the video. One minor modification removes the ads:
In the URL, add a hyphen between the "t" and the "u." The URL now becomes https://yout-ube.com/[RemainderOfURL]. The ads are removed, and the video appears full screen. When the video comes to an end, the video repeats rather than advancing to a new video.
Now, you have a much better approach when using those videos with your group.
Why Taste Matters More Than Skill
AI can now make almost anything — 100 logos from one sentence, a song in seconds, three times as many books published as before ChatGPT. But when making gets cheap, judgment gets priceless, and the only thing separating the good from the forgettable is someone with the taste to tell them apart. Dan Pink breaks down why taste is the one skill AI can't replicate, and the three rules for building it.
