SCOOP IT!

How to Use Scoop it!

        This tool will enable us, teachers, to upload instructional resources for students embedded in other electronic tools, and making them available in a visually attractive way.  The pages you share in Scoop it, become an alluring publication as if it were a magazine, organized around topics or themes of interest.

          So teachers might include resources according to students’ levels or interests, as well as topics being studied in the classroom.  After setting an account, you might create filters like in Feedly.  This platform will allow teachers to scoop in the Internet the content relevant to the topics they want to deal with in the classroom, and post it as a new bunch of resources that also might be connected to other links.

          It makes easy to gather relevant content in one place and let your student explore it.  You can create a single page around a topic and keep adding documents and improving it through time.  Students might also use it to develop projects such as their own magazines and publication based on their assignments or projects of interest. 

           Finally, another possibility would be to create a blog in it by adding the teacher's publications to it, letting students leave comments after searching.
