Curation Tools
Curation tools are quickly rising to the top of web apps available. But what exactly are curation tools? To curate means to select, organize, and maintain items in a collection. Curation tools are easy to use and aid in organizing all that web content you keep finding on the internet.
There is an expansive amount of content on the web creating an overload of information. Curating is a way to select and keep information you like to remember, and can new information from others. I have selected a few of the newer curation tools for you to organize your educational content in 1 place!

I have been following the Decorah eagles for two years now! They have recent hatchlings. Your students will love following these little chicks as they grow. This is a great teachable moment!
