This week I joined the Black History Month Committee at my school, and I was asked to provide the teachers with a list of resources to use for read-alouds or for Sustained Silent Reading. My first thought was to create two separate resource lists in Destiny. Then I thought that I should widen my scope to make a LibGuide so that I could also curate resources from outside our collection. The RCSD School Library System pays for a subscription to LibGuides and encourages us to use it, so that seemed like the best platform.
However, I decided to first re-visit the Cool Tools Thing 6: Curation Tools to see what other options are out there. So, again relying on Joyce Valenza to curate the best resources and information, I started with the EdWeb Webinar "Curation, Revisited: Aggregating Content in 2016" lead by Joyce Valenza, Brenda Boyer and Michelle Luhtala. Here are my takeaways from that webinar:

NIce job! I'm with you, I prefer the ease of Pinterest to ScoopIt. I rarely update my ScoopIt collections anymore. And a good reminder to me about using LibGuides as a resource. I often forget to check it for great content. I've never had access to a Follett catalog, so don't know the details of using it to curate content. Interesting - I just found out today that Follett has added a search for Open Educational Resources. Do you have access to that? (Look at Thing 29!)

Yes, Destiny Discover, which we have access to, searches for books, eBooks, databases, and Open Educational Resources simultaneously.
