What was good about this tool?
This website allows you to save and tag resources for easy access. You can annotate websites which is good for making extra notes for assignments etc. It's great to use because sometimes you are given a task for research, and if you find a website that contains the information that will be useful, you can annotate it on the spot rather than just print the website out and try to remember the useful parts and what you thought about them at the time. You can also organise your links and references to create a structure to your work. Another thing that is quite useful is that you can share your research with other users of this website which is great for group projects.
What was bad about this tool?
Even though you get quite a bit of an option, 5 outliners, 500 highlights and 100 images, if you want to upgrade to be able to do more, you have to pay for a monthly or yearly subscription.
How did you use this tool?
I would recommend this because a lot of work that is done in college is through websites and lots of research comes in place. This website would help you organise your research and have it on the go rather than have your notes on your research written out as a lot of the time students lose their notes whereas using this, its pretty much impossible!
