Evernote

Evernote is a great, free, application for notes, but it can do much more.  When installed on a smartphone you can capture images of things you want to keep track of.  When installed in your web browser you can use it to take snapshots of web pages when doing research.  Since it is such a great tool and one of my most used apps I thought I would share it here as it is a perfect tool for school.

This next article, also from Read Write Web, gives an introduction to the Evernote app:  http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/evernote-a-0-to-60-mph-guide.php

This third, and final, article talks about how you can archive your life using Evernote:  http://lifehacker.com/5935658/how-to-automatically-archive-your-life-with-ifttt-and-evernote

If you prefer to hand-write your notes Evernote has you covered there too.  They have partnered with Moleskine to provide a way to take handwritten notes and then capture them in the Evernote app:  http://blog.evernote.com/2012/08/24/the-new-evernote-smart-notebook-by-moleskine/
