Why Scoopit Is Becoming An Indispensable Learning Tool
I've been using Scoop.it as the hub of my social media sharing and intertnet curation presence for quite some time. It is, by far, the best content curation tool available.
I completely agree! Very useful curation tool that houses my professional learning!
What a great resource/asset this would be in a Project Based Learning or flipped classroom let alone a "regular" one.
How do you curate what you learn? Scoop.it is a valuable tool for all learners both in and out of formal education.

There’s no digging required: cards appear at the moment you need them most—and the more you use Google Now, the more you get out of it.
Google Now for iPhone and iPad is available as part of the updated Google Search app. Together, Google Now and voice search will make your day run a little smoother.
