Pearltrees is a digital curation site I discovered through reading a classmate’s digital curation assignment.
To say I love it is an understatement.
Pearltrees features a unique visual interface that allows you to drag and organize collected URLs, and other digital objects that themselves can be further organized into collections and sub-collections.
This is a Pearltree that I made about Pearltrees!

Sharing Collections
Click an icon to get a permalink or QR code to link to any collection you’d like to share. Then share it with anyone you like - regardless of whether or not they are a Pearltrees subscriber. :)

Pearltrees has the ability to "super-embed" a pearltree into another website. In turn, these are updated dynamically whenever the original pearltree is changed within the Pearltrees website.
Pearls are added through the use of a “web clipper” similar to the pinning button for Pinterest. You can place the item in a collection or subcollection or put it in your “drop zone” to be sorted later. You can also drag and drop photos or files into a collection.
There is also a button to synchronize your account with twitter and facebook.

Pearltrees Education Workspace
I was so excited, thinking of possibilities for using Pearltrees Education Workspace with students, that I immediately contacted headquarters! This is what I found out:
Pearltrees Education Workspace is a private/secure workspace dedicated to a school in which teachers and students can share educational resources. Teachers can create their own textbooks, a flipped or collaborative classroom, individualize learning. Each person has 1 TB of storage to organize and share digital educational resources.
Pearltrees will handle creation, installation, updates, editing and archiving of Web pages offline with daily backup, implementation and development of uses throughout the year with a training program corresponding to the school’s objectives, monitoring and support. They offer a “data property guarantee” that collections will be available beyond the subscription period.
All this for $3 per student per year, with a clause for “money back” if not satisfied. The minimum price is $600, which is the equivalent of 200 students, 25 teachers, and five administrators.
