Thing 5: Social Bookmarking & Curation Tools

I myself am not a fan of the social bookmark.  I wish I were and I would like to be instead of putting everything in my favorites, but I don't like the look of delicious or diigo.  I like the groups that you had set up and I would follow those, but I just don't have the time to create and manage this huge task for myself right now.  Maybe by the time I am ready, then there will be a tools I prefer more than these too...

Love the look of scoopIt.  I really like this site and the examples you posted.  Seeing our work up there was nice to have it shown with photos, animotos instead of just words is really eye catching.  I had just signed up for pinerest a few weeks ago.  Not sure that I like that it is linking to FB or Twitter, but I guess some sites have to be.  I like what other people have put together.  I am slow at getting things on there.  It is very visual and I think it might work well for a class project to have a kids name on a box and have them create what goes inside of it whether for a research project or class assignment.  I'll have to work on this ideas.  The kids would love it.

Paper.li is interesting.  I likes the article from Joyce V about using it with kids vs scoopit.  I read about flipit a few weeks ago and can't wait to have a device where I could download it to try it out.  It sounds like a great tool!

I can see using some of these with kids, but would love to hear other people's thoughts on how to incorporate these with elem. school children.
