I found this great new tool(toy)that lets me gather little "pearls" from all over the web. The pearls can be text websites, music videos, social network pages, etc. If I'm exploring a topic, I can organize these pearls into a visual map called a pearltree. One of the great things about these trees is that they are adjustable. That means I can reorganize whenever and however I like. My first pearltree begins with the novel The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It's madly popular, has been made into a soon to be released movie, and has been a muse for many artists ,activists and fans. This novel is on a list of Bildungsroman novels I am compiling, so creating the pearl tree was both fun and functional.
