This is something I use regularly in the classroom. Graphs can easily be shared so I have created many graphs for my students.<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To use ifttt&#8217;s own description you can use<strong> <a href="http://ifttt.com/" target="_blank">ifttt</a></strong> to create tasks with the following structure: when something happens (<em><strong>this</strong></em>) then do something else (<em><strong>that</strong></em>).</p>
<p>I think this is best illustrated with some of the <strong><a href="http://ifttt.com/recipes" target="_blank">recipes</a></strong> that I use.</p>
<p>I really like my Kindle and using an ifttt task I now get an automatic email when a new book is added to the top 100 free ebooks.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1158" title="ifttt1" src="http://staffweb2tools.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/ifttt1.jpg?w=300&#038;h=113" alt="" width="300" height="113" /></p>
<p>I have various Gmail tasks, for example if I star an email it is automatically sent to Evernote.<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1160" title="ifttt2" src="http://staffweb2tools.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/ifttt2.jpg?w=300&#038;h=76" alt="" width="300" height="76" /></p>
<p>Always liking the idea of a backup plan &#8211; all my Diigo bookmarks are sent automatically to Evernote (I also have Diigo set up to send the bookmarks to Delicious!)<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1161" title="ifttt3" src="http://staffweb2tools.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/ifttt3.jpg?w=300&#038;h=87" alt="" width="300" height="87" /></p>
<p>There are numerous <strong><a href="http://ifttt.com/channels" target="_blank">channels</a> </strong>to use as building blocks for tasks.</p>
<p><a href="http://ifttt.com/channels" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1163" title="ifttt4" src="http://staffweb2tools.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/ifttt41.jpg?w=593&#038;h=338" alt="" width="593" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>You can use the numerous supplied <strong><a href="http://ifttt.com/recipes" target="_blank">recipes</a></strong> as a basis for your own tasks or create tasks from scratch. Ifttt has worked flawlessly since I started using it  - I am very impressed!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.evernote.com/" target="_blank">Evernote</a></strong> is an outstanding application for capturing just about anything you want from wherever you want and finding it again! The Evernote search facility is awesome (<strong><a href="http://blog.evernote.com/tech/2011/05/17/architectural-digest/" target="_blank">here’s why</a>),</strong> even when I don’t tag resources all that well, Evernote finds them again! I would recommend it for both teachers and students and have included it on the <strong><a href="http://studentdigitaltools.wordpress.com/organisation/#enote" target="_blank">organisation page</a></strong> of the student version of this site.</p>
<p>Create a note using a phone or any web browser or use a desktop application. See <strong><a href="http://www.evernote.com/about/video/#zHom6bgqg9Y|1|1" target="_blank">this link</a></strong> for a short introductory video and a video library with many helpful tutorials. Evernote have also created a <strong><a href="http://www.evernote.com/about/getting_started/" target="_blank">clear guide to getting started</a></strong>.</p>
<p>As a teacher I use Evernote all the time and have a notebook for each class I teach as well as numerous other notebooks. I also use Evernote shared notebooks as a way of sharing information, for example see <strong><a href="http://www.evernote.com/pub/colleenyoung/videos" target="_blank">Mathematics videos</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.evernote.com/pub/colleenyoung/qrcodes" target="_blank">QR codes</a></strong> and very appropriately some <strong><a href="http://www.evernote.com/pub/colleenyoung/evernote" target="_blank">Evernote links!</a> </strong>Having used a shared notebook to share some useful resources with students at school, some students then created their own accounts.</p>
<p>The free version of Evernote is excellent and more than adequate for <strong><a href="http://blog.evernote.com/2011/06/06/evernote-tops-ten-million-users/" target="_blank">millions</a></strong> of users!</p>
