Short Description: Evernote is an IOS/Android compatible app that promotes collaboration as well as productivity. It allows for its users to take notes in various unique formats, ranging from text, sketching, photos, journaling, graphs, audio, video and my personal favorite: sticky notes that you can actually write on! These notes automatically can sync to every device the user is logged into, and can be shared for real time collaboration within a classroom - perfect for group projects and note sharing. And if a student forgot to write something down, they can take a picture of the board and have the photo scanned into their notes on the app. Examples for Uses: Project collaboration Teacher note sharing amongst all student devices Real time in class collaboration on documents and slides Readings can be instantly shared and annotated via App Students can pick note taking format that best suits their learning needs

I used to use evernote and then moved away from it. It has come a long way and I may want to go back to using it again. Thanks for bringing my attention back to this.
