Another really nice curation tool. this one allows you to gather topics and "pin" them to a board. It is very visual (what isn't on the web) and my daughter uses it to gather crafting and baby websites. You name your boards, there is a little applet you add to your browser and yo can then "pin" sites that relate to your board onto that board. I love webcuration, it is an extension of the social bookmarking apps I have used for a long time. I like this because of the visual aspects.

Popplet | Collect, curate and share your ideas, inspirations, and projects!

I have been looking at a lot of web based curation tools recently. They have many different uses and work in a lot of different ways. This one works much like Glogster and Inspiration combined. It is a really nice way to gather and present resources and information. There is also an iPad app for Popplet

UsefulCharts.com | Quick & Easy Study Charts

Another interesting and fun site. Charts detailing all kinds of information. These could be used to help students visualize a concept, they could be used to relay information but mostly they could be used to start and advance a discussion. The charts cover a number of topics and would make a great beginning point for a research project or debate! (Thanks to Larry Ferlazzo!)

Nik's Learning Technology Blog: 10 Tools for Increasing Engagement in Online Courses

With the increase in the number of online offerings for learning, and the dubious quality of many of them, I thought this was a timely blog. I am familiar with online learning, having taken many courses that way, and I can tell you some of them were not very engaging and took a great deal of effort to stay involved. Learning in those conditions is difficult at best.

This seems like a good place for online teachers and content providers to begin to explore ways to make the courses more engaging and by doing that provide a more educationally rich experience!
