Google Keep
I was really excited to discover that Google had its own content curation tool! Google Keep allows users to share links and resources with each other and it automatically saves to the cloud. Being a Google product means New South Wales students and teachers already have access to the app through G-Suite in the school portal. The tool enables students to develop a portfolio of work using text, images, annotations and recordings. Google Keep gives staff and students access to their work at school or home on a range of devices.
The State Library of NSW
The State Library of NSW curates a large collection of images on Pinterest. The collection is very popular, having 3.4k followers and averages 75.2k views each month. There is a plethora of images that would be of great use to teachers in the classroom, including boards specifically curated by stage with primary sources for history teachers. There are boards on book art, maker spaces and many others with images of Australiana and historic events. I am really impressed with this carefully curated collection, which currently has 2,813 pins!
