Session: Looking a visual and 'easy to use' curation tool? Try Squorl
Now that we live in a digital world it is much easier to build a set of digital resources to offer to teachers and students, or simply to keep tabs on those useful websites that you discover and don’t want to lose sight of. There is an ever-increasing list of tools that allow you to ‘curate’ web information and then to share it easily.
Jan’s session will offer an opportunity to test out Squorl and introduce Scoop.it!
Participants wanting to play will need a laptop or other digital device, and will need to have logged in to both Squorl.com and www.scoopit/ before ReaLM day.
They will also find it useful to have decided on a curation topic or topics to explore during the session.
