What is it?
Evernote is a suite of software and services designed for notetaking and archiving. (from Wikipedia)

What's it for?
Evernote is for students and teachers to keep track of notes in one place. A "note" can be a piece of formatable text, a full webpage or webpage excerpt, a photograph, a voice memo, or a handwritten "ink" note. Notes can also have file attachments. Notes can then be sorted into folders, tagged, annotated, edited, given comments, and searched. (from Wikipedia)

How have I used it?
I use it to save websites for research projects or assignments I am putting together for classes. I use it to keep track of items I want to show in my classes, such as, articles, pictures, documents, or websites. I take pictures of things on the board or items I see, and I can project the picture later in Evernote. The best thing about Evernote is that it’s in “the cloud.” I can get to it from just about any computer or device that has an internet connection (like my ipad or my phone). ~Bryna Thomson
