To curate the resources that I would use to write my Wikipedia article I used an extension tool called Diigo. Diigo allowed me to not only highlight text that would be useful to write about within the article but it also allowed me to annotate the highlighted text to create notes. I discovered this to be particularly useful when I found a smaller statement about the designer as I could then extend on from the point and use this as information to put into my article.
Diigo also allowed for Hashtags to be used for easy sharing within the group, this made passing a resource easy and efficient. Once you had shared an annotation of the text to the group, other members of that group could leave comments which I found helpful as I gained a second opinion on some of the articles I was curating. All of this could be done without need of a tutorial and I picked up the skill to do this particularly quickly which made using Diigo more enjoyable.
However there were some things within Diigo that I found not as practical as others. For instance on a few occasions I had to reinstall the Chrome extension as my computer thought I had stopped using it. Not only this but initially I had problems using Diigo on Safari and I had to switch over to Chrome as my browser of choice. Although these are not major difficulties they did cause me to become somewhat dissatisfied with the tool.
As a whole the Diigo website worked well for this project as it did not require a-lot of prior knowledge to make efficient use of the tool. Therefore I enjoyed using Diigo and would recommend it as a resource for others to use, not only this but I will also continue to use Diigo throughout university.
The articles I curated on Diigo are the following:
