Top 10 Sites for Curating the Web

With the amount of information that is available on the internet it is important (especially for teachers) to filter through the news/sites to find relevant information in a timely manner.  As a blogger I feel that we "curate' the web automatically to help keep things organized and be able to convey information in as detailed and easy way as possible.  Now w/ the addition of specific websites people can curate the web and save information on their own while sharing this vital information w/ others.

Top 10 Sites for Curating the Web

1. Pinterest - A relatively new site that is growing at a record pace.  It's easy to use, ideal for curating the web (by saving/sharing favorite sites), and visually engaging for users.  There's lots of potential for education as it is being used by educators everywhere.
2. Bag the Web - Bag the Web is a great site for curating the web into "bags".  With their educational portal, teachers and students can share resources, collect information for assignments, embed them into a site, and more.
3. MentorMob - A site that has been getting quite a bit of press on Twitter lately, is one of the best around for curating the web into "playlists".  These playlists can contain different types of media such as: video, articles, pictures etc.  Once these playlists are created they can be rated and shared w/ others.
4. List.ly - A wonderful site for curating sites into an interactive list that can be commented and voted on.
5. Middlespot - Is a unique site that allows a user to browse the web and stick sites onto their "dashboard"  These dashboards can be edited and shared w/ others.  More features are available for a paid account.
6. Paper.li - A very popular site among bloggers and educators for creating an online newspaper out of their web content.  Best of all, once a "newspaper" is created Paper.li automatically updates the paper by monitoring news content.
7. Bundlr - A great way to organize the web into "bundles".  These bundles can contain all sorts of media and then be shared w/ others in a grid or timeline view.
8. Scoop.it - A nice site for turning one's social media into a stunning looking digital magazine.  A very popular resource among educators on Twitter.
9. Searcheeze - Another fun site for curating web content (text, video, images, articles) and turning it into a digital magazine that can be shared w/ others.
10. Storify - A great site for telling social stories by curating web content through video, photos, and text.
