Here at home, I have a Mac so I use icloud for my personal documents and photos. I don't have to worry about my computer crashing and then I lose this important stuff.
I created my Google Drive Account here at home and I can see how useful this is for school documents and presentations. Instead of having to save and send as an email or saving to a thumb drive, I can just keep it in Google Drive and access anywhere. What I like is that if I am working on a staff presentation or a team document, others can give their input and add updates as needed. This is so useful and would make things far more efficient and productive!
Speaking of efficient, my brother gave me a Livescribe pen last semester. This pen allows me to record lectures and also keeps track of everything I write on special dot matrix paper. I can touch anywhere on the paper and listen to exactly what was being said in the classroom at the moment I was writing those notes. I can then upload the recorded information, including written, to Livescribe desktop to be reviewed later. If I upgrade the pen, information will be able to be saved or sent directly to a Google Doc. I am having issues with the pen lately but I sure love the technology when it is working. It is a great tool for many reasons but it would be especially good for students taking note heavy or technical classes.
I also played around with a form in Google Docs and here it is...

I joined Evernote and plan to explore this more fully. I know it has such great organizing abilities. Anything that has to do with organizing is a winner in my book.
