Scoop.it

Have you tried Scoop.it yet?

It's a website where you can curate various web articles and share them easily with your social media sites. I thought it would be a good place to organize some of my articles and the articles of others. Seems kind of cool. I always get nervous that they will spam my social media followers, but we'll see what happens!

Here is a link to my Scoop.it page called School Librarians and Libraries
