I got carried away with selecting topics when I first opened up my Flipboard account. Well, that can happen when a site like Flipboard offers over 10,000 topics! Once you select a topic, a number of related topics pop up. For example, under popular topics, clicking on wildlife caused biology, zoology, and endangered species to pop up. Exercise opened up a whole new can of worms, including running and yoga, then meditation and emotions, then self-improvement, creativity, empathy, critical thinking, writing, and cognition. You get the idea.
What is Flipboard, you ask? Flipboard is a personalized magazine that allows users to curate and share articles from newsfeeds and websites. Not only is it simple and intuitive to navigate, I discovered I could invite others to curate for my magazines and of course share, allowing for a dynamic exchange of ideas. And, if you couldn't tell, I love the process of selecting topics in curation sites because it's so tabula rasa.
Once I figured out that I could make numerous magazines, I created one more focused one for ed tech. Take a look at my first magazine using Flipboard.
