I have to be honest, even though I consider myself to be a decently tech-savvy person, I really don't use bookmarks that often. I tend to remember things better when actually physically writing them down or reading them in print, so when it comes to needing massive amounts of sites, I just make a list of the websites in a notebook. I have a favorite blue hardback notebook that has a collection of everything from recipes, to gear lists for backpacking, to the research materials I used to write my capstone paper last year. I guess I'm just antiquated.

If I find it necessary, I'll make a bookmark to something, but usually I can just remember what I'm looking for anyway. However, for the sake of at least attempting something new, I made a folder for this class.
When it comes to curation sites, I do use Pinterest on occasion. I am big on Doing-It-Yourself, so I tend to find good inspiration for projects there. I don't use Twitter at all, but I am familiar with it. I just don't really have anything worth using the 140 characters for on a regular basis. As far as Known is concerned, I had heard of it, but hadn't ever used it before. It seems interesting! I like the collaborative nature of the project.
My biggest organizational tools are GoogleDocs and Microsoft OneDrive. I store most of my important documents, pictures, and miscellaneous files here and tend to have more organization.

I feel like I was in the same boat at the beginning of the semester. I really don’t know a whole lot about apps and using things on computers in a way that’s resourceful either. I usually have to write down notes or I forget. Looking back this past semester, I feel like this class has helped not only helped my creative writing, but it also familiarized me with how to use different sites as resources. I’ll definitely have to try your google docs technique. Thanks for sharing!
