Saving Twitter & Other Sites to Storify
So I am sitting in a library trying to finish the third editing of my book and dealing with a peer review comment that asked how we can save Twitter. So to show that I too can learn new tricks, Frank Franz mentioned Storify to me and instantly you can drag in the Tweets you want as well as any website and create a story you can refer to later. I must admit I am the kind of teacher who goes to an in-servicest and immediately comes back to my classroom and sift through the notebooks taking out only what I want to keep. These items I scan and put in my in-services' folder on Google Drive (yes I am a minimalist and my classroom only takes 30 minutes to pack up each summer!). So what I like about Storify is that I can essentially do the same, but even better I can delete items I do not want later. You can collect Twitter, YouTube, Google+, websites, etc. to your hearts desire and create a storybook that you can edit later.
Above is a how to video. If you are like me and try lots of sites online, you might want to consider having a "trash" e-mail for everything. If I need the site to email me I can easily go to the trash site, but that way any extra email I might get because of signing up for so many things goes to the aforementioned site.
