This site was found through Google using the search string 'skills + advanced internet users'. It provided a site from the University of Glasgow Scotland which had a catalogue of approx 20 resources for internet user education. These resources varied from networking, searching the internet to netiquette. It was quite a unique site.
Zotero
For all of the above sites, i used Zotero to collect and save the information needed. Zotero lets you save a snap shot of the site, so it can be viewed and used off line. It also records all of the site information such as Title, URL, Author and other detailed information. There is a note function, which allows you to write notes about the site, and why it has been saved. I have done this so in know which resource belongs to which module i have completed.
This makes it easier for me completing the resource project, as i can view the page and notes about that page. I can also refer back to the page off line if i need to, and make notes as i am going along. This saves a lot of hassle as i read through the site and have a notes pages open typing as i read.
I can also break the pages into collections using the left hand 'Collections' panel. I have done this to differentiate between the sites i have been keeping for my resource project and also this Module 4 task.
