Curating your own content can be just as powerful as reviewing others that have done it for you. Especially when there are tools that can do the curating for you. Like Paper.li.

Explore math with desmos.com, a free online graphing calculator I have used Desmos not only in my lessons as a point of references, but I have given students the opportunity to complete a linear equation project using Desmos to create a picture.

I completely agree. Most of my students cannot afford the TI-83 graphing calculators, but almost all of them have smartphones that would allow them to use this app for free. I will definitely be showing this to my classes, although they probably won't be as excited as I was about it! -
I like this app. This would have definitely helped me when I took Algebraic Concepts for my undergrad content course. Sure, my class website had a graphing calculator tab that I could use for homework. But I found it really difficult to navigate and very hard to see. If I was still taking that class, I would definitely share it with my classmates, because as you mentioned alexamoore621 TI-83 calculators are pricey. Although, now that I think about it, it would be hard to convince my professor to let us use it in class...he had a no cell phone use during exams, even if the phone had an app.

Curating your own content using a resource such as Paper.li is an excellent resource for teachers and students alike. Paper.li enables you to focus on specific information using filters and share that information (online articles, images, podcast, videos etc.) among a variety of people. Students can use this tool to collaborate on a research project, while teachers can share content to make instruction more engaging and relevant.

Love what Paper.li can do. But Mr. Hanson's article on keeping up with all the streams of information, social media, etc completely stressed me out. His concept of using every available moment, including in the bathroom, to keep up is craziness. Even Silicon Valley has awakened to the need to unplug and find moments without tech or trying to keep up.
