This is a visually interesting curation tool that is a great way to share information, links, videos, etc for content consumption.

My Take
Scoop.it is a great tool to launch a learning in the classroom. You can gather all kinds of the research tools, videos, links, images into one place. It can be a resource spot, or a jump page for student use. Students can use it to curate the best of their resources that they used for research also. The students love the visual nature of the site. It is not a collaborative tool, or a creation tool. It is like a gathering spot.
How I Use It
I use it when we are launching a research session for students. This site gathers all the websites into one place. The students use my Scoop.it to read, research and gather information for their curriculum related projects.

Scoopit is a web tool that allows teachers and students to curate sites from the web and display them in an online magazine format.
Scoopit is not a "made for education' tool, but like many things that are useful in the real world, the educational applications are robust. I like the way that Scoopit pushes sites into a relatable magazine format. Teachers can easily collect sites pertinent to student study into a Scoopit page, and students have the opportunity to become responsible curators of their own content and members of a community of curators.

Outstanding curation and reference site.
Thought this was great - easy to use, easy to learn and easy to adapt.

Its a way to collect research and content thats not at all time consuming - for me (and any busy teacher - and find me one who's not) thats a huge selling point.
