Learnist is a social media learning site where users can pin text, images, video and audio to create "learn boards" about certain topics or subjects. Learnist will suggest pins for existing boards and allows for board owners to invite other people to collaborate with them to add content. Outside of the classroom, users can get on Learnist to give students the assignment of creating a board as homework. Since the site was created with education in mind, it is safe for students to use at home as well.

EduClipper is an educational platform for students and teachers to explore, share and contribute resources. A difference between eduClipper and other curation sites for educational materials is that this site allows for the user to choose a privacy level. A user can decide to create an eduClipboard and keep it private or make it public and share it via Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Evernote, Edmodo or email. Since eduClipper's goal is for users to explore, share and contribute to the library of educational content, the site isn't as likely as some sites to be blocked by school firewalls.

Edcanvas features grid-like "canvases" for teachers and students to organize educational materials. A clear strength of this site is how easy it is to integrate content from Google, YouTube, Flickr, Dropbox or a user's desktop with the built-in search engine. By allowing users to embed digital media such as videos, images and other files with the drag-and-drop function, the canvases are able to become richer and more diverse. Another interesting feature is the newly-developed capability to leave audio comments on canvases which can help students learning foreign languages.
