My students and I had an “a-ha” moment the other day, in terms of digital citizenship and how we really need to think before we post images to the Internet. Or maybe even before we take the picture. Delete the scoop?

Nothing works 100% but we need to really be proactive as educators in our work with students, not simply worry about covering our butts. If we are really wanting to do what is best for kids, shouldn’t we be at the top (or at least working towards) the top? Delete the scoop?

LOWELL | Greater access to cyberspace and all it offers is a privilege, not a right, Lowell High School students will learn this week.
Kevin Akita's insight:
Interesting idea, but wouldn't curriculum have to be geared toward the lowest priviledge level if all students are expected to participate in class?
Philosophical arguements aside, scalability is also an issue. I imagine it would turn into an IT nightmare the more students that need to be individually managed. Delete the scoop?

I've been asked to answer this question on Quora and so even though it's been already documented in a number of posts or SlideShare presentations (I mention a couple at the end of my answer by Corinne Weisgerber and Beth Kanter), I felt I should give the perspective we have from observing a number of practices on Scoop.it.
From the early days of the private beta, we've seen a lot of curation being made by our users for professional reasons. Some as independant pofessionals, a lot as businesses. This is what drove the development of Scoop.it Business and Scoop.it Pro, our two main premium plans which have known a great adoption and success since we launched them.
This might not be an exhaustive list and it is meant in a business context which is not what all curation activities are about. But let us know: do you see other best practices worht mentioning? Via gdecugis
