Evernote

Ever heard of Evernote? Evernote is all about gathering and organizing your information and storing it on the web for easy later retrieval. It's a great tool for students to organize the myriad of different types of information from their classes and take notes for later use. With Evernote you can store text, web clippings, snapshots, and audio in the cloud or download the application and save notes to your personal computer. It also allows you to share folders (called notebooks) with others so you can collaborate.
