Pearl Trees
Pearltrees is a place to organize everything. This free service lets you organize, explore and share everything you’re interested in. Save web pages, files, photos or notes and organize them. Explore amazing collections that relate to your interests and subscribe to their updates. Access your account anytime and share anything from your computer, mobile and tablet. I have the students use this when they are trying to organize for a project. The only challenge I can see happening with the implantation of this device would be getting the students to remember to save everything to this service.
