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.
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.
