What's the purpose of collections when you have bookmarks?
ecto_ruseff the most straight forward use I have for collections is research and compilation into a really easy to follow Word document. For example, I searched wikipedia for some data on halloween. I highlighted a paragraph and dragged it into a new collection. Then I found some candy on amazon and dragged it into the collection. I found some yelp comments on scary houses to visit, added them (not the page, mind you, just an image and an address). Then I looked up why we actually do haunted houses this time of year and added some of that. All good. I admit that it would have been just as easy to use Bookmarks. However, the next step is: I click the ... menu in Collections, and "Send to Word". That creates a well formatted document with footnotes containing the URLs I got my data from. I was able to save that to onedrive and send a link to my daughter. It was amazing.
She's going to use it for reports for school. She's very excited.
