The two tools I chose to experiment with were Diigo and Evernote.
Evernote took me a while to get the hang of. I could not figure out how to add images to notes for the life of me. I will need to play around with this some more and I'm sure once I download the app on my iPhone I will see the many benefits of this tool. I can not get the Evernote clipper to open at school, so I'm sure I'm missing out on a huge part of the experience here.
*Side note; I figured out the screen clipper. Very cool.
Diigo was the next tool I spent some time using. I practiced highlighting text and adding sticky notes, which I loved. However, when I went to get the annotated link from my library, the pages did not look right, almost as if compatibility mode had been turned off. That was disappointing. I'll keep trying.
I'm also going to try both tools in a different browser. I'm using IE at school, which is an old version, so that might have something to do with the issues I'm having. It was fun trying something new. I think Evernote is more user friendly and has a more attractive interface. The mobile apps are a bonus as well. Thanks!
