Go to Free Teacher/Learner Resources on the home page of www.discoveryeducation.com

Next, we toured the many resources to be a “curator” of the resources that we find. www.scoopit.com will be the “curator” tool that I incorporate more. I plan on using Scoopit, for articles and other documents that I find online.
www.delicious.com or www.diigo.com are bookmark tools that look beneficial for sorting website URLs.
A note-taking tool that will link to a variety of platforms is www.evernote.com
Porter challenged us to throw out resources, or “clean out our tackle box” when we are not using them.
