Educlipper.net
One of the blogs I subscribe to, NeverEndingSearch, mentioned this new clipboard curation service, just recently released. Here's the link: http://educlipper.net/. It's a free digital clipboard service made specifically for educators. Teachers (or students) can clip anything and save it on a digital clipboard. It's a way to capture and share all types of educational content. You can clip articles, videos, website links, slideshows, images, and lesson plans. It's more organized and efficient that bookmarking lots of sites on your computer and saving articles in a bunch of different folders. Clipboards can be organized by topic, saved privately, or shared publicly on social network sites. It's school-friendly and students can create their own clipboards too. Here is a brief video (1:40) from the educlipper site that explains the product: http://player.vimeo.com/video/43565309. This tool would make it easy to digitally organize curriculum units with a various types of electronic components in one place. All the pieces to a project or assignment could be saved (and displayed to students) in one place. And, because it's saved on this site, it's available anywhere. To create your free account, simply register with a username, email address, and create a blog page.

This will be so helpful, especially for the research components that the common core requires. I will definately be recommending this to my students!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I am always saving blurbs or links to sites that I find interesting. The problem is, I save stuff in all different places (bookmarks, a note feature in one of my email accounts, etc.) I like that this consolidates everything into one place, very useful for teachers and students.
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent place for organizing and sharing resources. What a useful concept, and as Kelsey said, perhaps perfect for Common Core as well. Thanks for finding something so relevant.
