Tech Tidbit: Post-it Plus APP
Post-it Notes have been around a long time, and they make regular appearances in brainstorming sessions. Unfortunately, once the session is over, the notes often disappear. We might take a photo of our notes, but the usefulness of these photos is limited.
3M, the company that makes Post-its, has developed an app to make better use of the notes that play such an important role in our collaboration. The Post-it Plus app allows users to take a photo of the notes and capture them as individual digital images. Once the notes are captured, they can be rearranged, deleted, or amended with new digital notes.
A finished board can then be shared via email, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, or Twitter, or it can be exported as a PDF, PowerPoint, or Excel file. All of these options mean that whatever ideas were generated live and in person can continue to develop into polished, actionable plans.
Difficulty: Easy
Platform: iOS
Price: Free; the Editor’s Pack is offered as an in- app purchase and adds an eraser and extra note colors.
