When Dottie Black, my friend and colleague from the Duke-PepsiCo Technology Mentor Program, first told me about Scoop It, I thought she said, "stupid". Once I correctly heard her and she showed me what Scoop It does, I realized it definitely is not stupid! Scoop It is a topic-centric curating service. It allows you to collect resources from around the Web relevant to a certain topic. Rather than just listing links to the sites, it displays a stream of the sites you have embedded or searched for. So, for example, I have created a Scoop It about participants of the Fall 2011 DPS Technology Challenge and embedded the product below. Definitely NOT stupid!
This is pretty cool! Our teachers are going to love this!
