A few good scoops for us
I’ve been talking a lot about curating for and with students lately. As the curation movement gets stickier, more and more librarians and educators are joining.
So I tasked my very able practicum student Chrissy Sirianni to help me pick some Scoop.its to share, offering a taste of the kind of current awareness the tool provides for school library professionals.
Chrissy developed some informal criteria for inclusion:
- Scoop.it score (measure of topic quality based on dynamism, depth, and audience engagement)
- Currency of information (is somebody still actively curating?)
- Content (if it is something we’re interested in!)
Here are our compiled suggestions:
