I could definitely see myself using this tool in library class. I could create a separate tree for each grade level, and each unit could have a separate branch with links to the different websites and web-based tools that I want students to use during that unit. The tree would be a home base that would keep a year's worth of teaching tools organized.

Curating Resources
This week we explored online tools that can be used to curate resources. These tools can be useful for organizing professional resources that we plan to utilize as teachers. They can also be used to present a collection of resources to our students so they can explore the ins and outs of a topic. I tried out Bundlr.com. One of my classmates, Shelly, tried Pearltrees. I liked Bundlr, but I was more impressed with the presentation of her collection on Pearltrees. Here is a quick video that explains the purpose of Pearltrees. It's a promotional video that I found on Youtube.

This sounds like a great idea! I will have to look at Pearltrees and see if I could use it in my library classes as well! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a neat way of organizing. It is very visually appealing and the concept would make sense for younger students. I have also thought about having students create these to organize their resources when doing a project.
