Wonderful teacher tool, though I don't let my 4th graders use it

As an educator, I frequently use Flipboard in my classes to curate timely, relevant articles and multimedia content aligned with our learning goals. Instead of relying solely on static textbooks, Flipboard allows me to create dynamic, "living" content libraries tailored to my students' interests and needs.

Finding reading level appropriate, content area related texts is very difficult for many teachers. For many of us our curricula don't 'fit' a traditional textbook. Flipboard allows us as teachers to curate timely, appropriate readings around any topic. Essentially we create/curate living textbooks. Most importantly, they allow students to become active in the creation of these textbooks. For any teacher who thinks his/her students aren't quite ready for that process, you can turn it on when you are ready.

Basically this app is used to connect and be able to read several sources at one time, all in one place. It did a good job of collecting the data, I'm just not a big social media person. So this app did not impress me. I would rather use just an RSS reader.
