Scoop.it - What's your passion?

Are you passionate about something?  Have a favorite topic that you would like to get up-to-date information about but don't have to time to surf the web looking for the latest and greatest content?  Want to connect with other people who are passionate about the same things that you are?  Scoop.it might be a great website for you to check out.

Scoop.it scours the web to find exciting, relevant content that you can "scoop" and add to your magazine. You can also connect with curators that have magazines that are focused on similar topics. I did a quick search for Biology Teaching content and found a magazine that appears to be curated by a college biology class. Here is a screen shot:

There are scoop.it pages on tons of topics and more are being added every day. It would be a fun way for a class to keep up to date on current events and trends in your subject area if you're an educator.
