![]() What Growly Notes does have is a very visual way of arranging topics (sections) and sub-topics and notes (pages) within those sections in any given notebook. (I created such a template you can make them for your specific needs and create new pages using them.) ![]() (Yes, it’s a dippy name and about as googy as Circus Ponies Notebook, which held the rule here for many months.) Growly lacks the outlining features of OneNote as well as other sophisticated features I mostly never used.īut what it does allow is placing blocks of text anywhere on the page where you click the cursor so that related bits can be moved side-by-side, placed in columns, set up with side comments like Cornell note-taking format. This week, I’ve come back to the newest version of Growly Notes. All have their strong points none have it all in one package. I’ve used, with more or less success, a long list of simple to complex apps (free and paid) in an attempt to find one that works the way my brain works when dealing with organizing data. Then, in 2008, when I moved to the MAC, even running Windows via Parallels, OneNote got to where it clearly was not going to be my go-to info-gathering and writing tool. I was a dedicated user of Microsoft OneNote, and used it for blogging, research, teaching and to compile more than 100 pieces of writing that became Slow Road Home. And so I’ve both begun that work AND started it using new, free MAC software I’m excited about. What if I went back and revisited a couple of them for a status update–for my own education? I could generate real energy in that work.Īnd so, having looked at a half-dozen such “emerging disorders” I quickly found that there was so much still active on the topic of honey bee diseases that there would be more than enough on this subject alone to fill my 750 word column. Then it occurred to me that I have written about a number of plant, animal and human diseases over the last seven years, usually when those pathogens were new and the outcome unknown. So I confess this time, with another deadline looming while I’ll be busy in or traveling out of town, I was beginning to throw my hands up. While there is no dearth of topics, I have tried to hold true to writing about subjects that genuinely interest me, and that having researched them, I will be better off for the effort, even if the newsprint ends up lining the parakeet cage. Some times the wheels seem to have ground to a dead stop when it comes to finding things to write about for my obligatory columns in a couple of local papers. Usding Evernote I can find anything and everything I need.Growly Notes may just suit your needs for Mac writing projects Logos method is even more obtuse and convoluted, and doesn't work. It isn't as simple and easy as it could be, but it works. If I want something I've highlighted (and i usually do) to be part of my lesson, I also copy and paste it into Evernote. I just highlight and let Logos figure out where and how to remember what I've highlighted. I completely ignore logos' absurd note files for highlights. My classroom at the church has an Apple TV (on the church wi-fi) connected to an LCD TV in the front of the class to display the Keynote information, and a white board which i use for discussions.Īs a side note, I tend to highlight a lot. Surprisingly, I find I can do all the final lesson prep on my iPad using Evernote, Cloud Outliner, and Keynote. I also sometimes put information from Evernote into an app called Cloud Outliner because it lets me manipulate and arrange the data before putting it into Keynote. I find that I do most of my reading and copy/pasting of information on my iPad using the desktop Logos for in depth exegesis, word studies, maps and pictures, but still copying and pasting it all into Evernote. I then can use that information to pull together what i actually want to use into Keynote for my lesson each week. I have separate notebooks set up for each series I am teaching on and various notes in those notebooks with clippings, graphics, pictures, etc titles and tagged to each individual lesson. Now I copy and paste everything I want from logos into Evernote. ![]() The entire system and method of trying to tie notes to resources, etc is a nightmare. First, Let me say that I've completely given up on using Logos for notes.
