Graphic-Animated Video

Scoop.it is a power publishing platform. With Scoop.it they say everyone is a publisher. Scoop.it helps you find content from your favorite topics, and creates your own beautiful online magazines. Scoop.it isn’t like other content curation platforms because it looks good, it’s easy to use, and it actually does do all you want it to do. (Digital Business UK) This is pretty good definition of what Scoop.it is. Just like it says, it let me find what my interest is and the way to organize that information. I actually found all the videos that interest me that I wouldn’t have been looking for if not for Scoop.it. So I want to share my wonderful experience of Scoop.it.

             Through NMT class, I’ve learned that such program called ‘Scoop.it’ existed. I have never heard of such thing before. But when I got to use this for the first time, it really excited me. I always wanted to such blogging and curating, but I wasn’t the person who could keep up with daily caring things. However, Scoop.it was much easier than I thought. Because of the fact that I curate about things I am interested, it makes it fun and enjoyable enough to take care of everyday. I am currently fascinated with the world of graphic-animated videos. Scoop.it helped me to find this world that I love. It let me gather all the video I found interest into neat, simple order, which is really convenient for me. This was the actual first step for me to do something that is related to what I want to do for my future, which is graphic and animation video making. One of the biggest things that I accomplished by doing Scoop.it is that I got a chance to explore and gather information that would benefit for my future. The fact that Scoop.it makes it really easy for me to organize all the videos that I scooped really helps me to manage things that I cared. That, I believe, is the most important thing that I liked about Scoop.it which allowed me to learn about my potential career.

             When I was told to start Scoop.it, I knew how to use it theologically, but not in a way of actual use. I wasn’t worry about how to use Scoop.it technically, but how to organize and manage the content of the blog. However, it wasn’t as hard as I expected it to be; rather it was fun and enjoyable. There are some advices that I learned in class to be great curators, which are to be able to separate, appreciate and see connections. These are the basic things I have done to make my Scoop.it page alive. I basically found the video I found interest and scooped it with comments and insight that I had. And then I tagged each post to organize not only for me for my viewers. These things are simple but helped me to create nice contents. Also, there are some tips that I found important from Chris Brogan. The first thing was be wary of always pimping your stuff. So, whatever I scooped on my page, I gathered things that I really like with confidence. As he said, my fan will love it and others will tune out. I focused more on things that I love rather than something what others would like. Another tip was that if someone says I’m using it wrong, forget it. I truly believe that Scoop.it is for me and if others can benefit from me, it’s even better. However, I don’t want to do it just for other people. These great tips about Scoop.it really helped me manage it.

             I have just started the Scoop.it. It wasn’t a long time since I begin and I still have far more to go. It helped me to do the things that I always just thinking about doing it. It have me opportunity to manage my own blog in such easy and simple way. I have learned to appreciate not only the videos I find, but also the Scoop.it itself. Even though I started it with a class project, I am planning on using this wonderful tool continuously. I am looking forward to explore and share this exciting world of video with Scoop.it being my organizer.
