I chose Evernote partly because it's an app I am already familiar with, but also because it is a really great idea. It can be downloaded to your computer or apple device, and anything you upload from any of those places is shared and can be accessed using any other device. I myself use it to keep important school notes on so that they are literally always with me and easily accessible. Also, a huge highlight is the fact that the basic version is totally free, making it even more available to the public. You can take photos and save them, save favorite webpages in their entirety instead of just a link, and easily share all of your saved notes with anyone else and collaborate.
Finally, the possibilities for classroom usage are significant. The ability to collaborate is very useful for working on group projects. Also, having all of your research notes available in one place keeps students more organized, and makes paper writing and projects easier as well. It would be a wonderful app to have each student get an account for and keep up with their notes instead something like a binder that could be left at school, lost, or torn.
