Digital Note-Taking Tools

I need to figure out how to use them... How many times have I seen students take notes on paper, lose them, search for information again and lose the notes again? Also, my students often struggle with reading their own writing... Digital writing tools will not only offer a better way to store information, but also practice summarizing and paraphrasing and they search and gather information.
I am also kind of excited to read about searching for information in general. That whole idea of narrowing the topic goes hand in hand with the new writing curriculum that we are using. It is nice to reconfirm that what you are doing has a solid and sound best practice base behind it.
