"Teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theatre."
So says Gail Godwin. While we can't tell you much about your live performance we have the right tools to facilitate the preparation part. It can be even fun! All our products are designed to actively assist you with the tedious tasks of collecting and organizing so that you can focus on what really matters: develop the best teaching materials for your students.
-
Collect
The better the texts, pictures, and diagrams are that you hand out to your students the easier it is for them to follow your lesson and to recapitulate later. DEVONthink's GTD®-like inbox, the take note panel, services, the browser extensions, the print-to-DEVONthink service, and the Sorter make collection easy. Wherever the material comes from, one click later it's in your inbox without interrupting your workflow.
-
Research
If you don't have enough material for a lesson start (re)searching on the web with DEVONagent Pro. You choose your search engines and type the query, our app does the tedious rest. Get smart text summaries without all the noise that, in many cases, are already all you need. Review the results right in DEVONagent and send the good ones to your DEVONthink inbox in an instant.
-
Prepare
Prepare your lesson by organizing your material so that it is the most helpful. Use groups or smart tags, or both, to keep clippings, notes, bookmarks, and other files for an article together. DEVONthink assists you by looking at your data and suggesting tags or groups. You can even add items to multiple lessons using replicants.
-
Write
If you distribute or publish your material online write your papers as rich text document, e.g. in fullscreen mode. Automatic Wiki-style links effortlessly add references to other documents in your DEVONthink database. Manually add links to webpages. Then publish your "personal Wiki" as mini website and share it with your students, e.g. via your personal area on your school's website.
-
Organize
Teaching is not just teaching. It's also a lot of organization and administration. Save your participant lists, schedule of lessons, and other table-like data in sheets in DEVONthink. Link to address book cards and create to-dos from DEVONthink Pro in iCal, OmniFocus, or Things with just a few clicks.
