Content curation - Scoop.it

Content curation is, as defined by Philip Hubbard  , "the collection and organization of digital content with value added by language learning experts". He recognizes that content is a really significant element in the language learning classroom and much more important nowadays, since authentic content of different characteristics can be found on the internet.

There are different webtools that are designed to curate content. One of the most known ones is Scoop.it. This tool allows you to curate content and publish the curated content with your own comments and organization in different categories, while following topics curated by other users. So, apart from organizing  your own information and resources according to the criteria you consider more useful, you can share and take advantage of the materials that have been curated by other people.

I'm just starting with my scoop.it account, but you can see my profile here.
Cheers
