Microsoft Office OneNote Now Available on Android Devices


This is about the best news I have heard all day! This app has been available on iPads for a year and even though I am a huge fan of Evernote, which I have been using for a couple of years, OneNote rocks!!! It will sync to Office.com Skydrive for accessibility anywhere. Check out the OneNote blog at the following link. http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-onenote/

I have been using Symbaloo and simply LOVE it! I am on the web a lot with my job researching web tools, accessing applications that we subscribe to at GCCISD and this makes my job a whole lot easier.

Symbaloo is a customizable start page tool that lets users add all their most important links in a format that is easy to use. The user’s webmix appears as sleek buttons with icons or logos. The user can drag and drop items to organize them in a way that is convenient and practical. The items, or tiles, can be searched so users can find those that are most relevant to the items they are adding. Users can view their home webmix or browse webmix collections. News highlights and major news are also accessible through tabs on the Symbaloo homepage. The user can access an online resource simply by clicking one of the tiles on the webmix they are currently viewing.

Special thanks to Mary Gill for introducing me to Symbaloo!!!! Check out her blog at Gill's Gigas.
