Thing 1 -- Curation Tools


I enjoyed reading the other people ideas and what each had tried out for their school like Scoop.it and Pinterest for collaboration planning.  I have used Pinterest for a while now for my own teaching ideas, but signed up for an account specifically for my library.

What a great idea to create a special account just for my school library page.  I have been meaning to do this for a while... and now to try embedding Pinterest pages... very nice!


I would like to be able to have books that I have read as examples for the kids to see and look at for some reading suggestions. Or even parents. My only issue for the moment is that Pinterest won't find images from my catalog only the Titlepeak page which doesn't exactly link back to my own circulation stuff. Will keep working on this part.

    Does your catalog have a way to find a permanent link to each book? If so, you can edit the pinterest pins and add that as the source URL.
