I have read about Evernote online in a few different places, both education-oriented and non-education oriented. I finally took the leap and downloaded the program for my computer and the app for my phone over this weekend and...
I absolutely love it. Evernote is a program/service that allows you to organize information in almost any form on a computer, tablet or phone into one place. There is also an extension for the Google Chrome browser that allows you to clip an e-mail, a page, a full article, a selection of a page, or a screen shot and save it for later in a note.
Evernote is organized in the following way:
Find information --> add to Note --> add Note to Notebook --> add Notebook to Stack (if desired).
This will be a great tool for organizing information for research papers and projects. Also, Evernote has a share function so students can collaborate information and share it with others.
My only problem thus far is that it seems difficult to export Notes to Word, so just in case something happens to your Evernote account all your information is lost. It is possible to save Notes as PDFs, so that is a great alternative; however, I think it would be an excellent feature to be able to export Notes as .doc files.
