The app Pearltrees is a must have for just about anyone that is constantly looking for new resources online. With this app you are able to create what is called a pearltree (hense the app name). On that tree you are able to connect webpages that are of interest to you. You are able to set up new main pearls that you can click on and then add secondary pearls to that to create your tree. There is also a neat feature that is on the top of the screen and says related interests. When you click on that several new pearls appear around your tree. Those are pearls that other people have posted. If you like any of the sites that those people have on their trees you can click on it and drag it down to the bottom of the screen and then add it to your pearltree when you are ready. Since I have started my pearltree I have secondary pearls for; school, 21st century learning, lesson plan resources, teacher websites, and ipad. I have personally added 43 pearls (websites) and have grabbed several more from other people.

One of the nicest things about this app is that when you open an account you can access it on your regular computer so you can add and use pearls from your normal PC or MAC. This is great because if you add a pearl on your computer and then you need to find it on your ipad it is automatically there. There is a little set up time that goes into getting it working properly but once you do I promise it will become an invaluble resource for you.

The app is free and can be found in the app store by typing in pearltrees.
