This is the first post in a series on resources to discover and curate digital curriculum. In this post Michael Gorman introduces three tools in depth: Symbaloo, Diigo and Evernote. "This series is really not centered on all the amazing resources available, but rather how to we find quality material and how do we archive it so we can find it later." Although you may be aware of these three tools Gorman many show you techniques to using them that are new. The post explores these tools with both the teacher and student in mind. Based on your AUP these tools have the potential to be used by both groups. If you wonder why you would want your students to become digital curators think about how it would require them to "be informed and practice proper digital citizenship."

Great information about curating tools! Very well elaborated! Â |
More and more sites provide access to e-curriculum. Here is a list from Michael Gorman that explores the following sites:
* Symbaloo, a site that allows you to create web mixes. Please note that Symbaloo has a educational version and a non-educational version. It is worth checking out both versions.
* Diigo, a site that allows you to store bookmarks, tag them and more.
* Livebinders - think of a 3-ring binder but online and you get the idea.
* My Big Campus - a safe social learning platform for students. There is a paid version and a freemium version.
* Scoop.it - a great tool for curation.
* Pinterest - many great educational resources can be found.
* Educlipper - this tool is similar to Pinterest but designed for educators.
There is much more information on each of these tools in this post and well worth the read. Have fun exploring!
