One of the bloggers that I'm following created a Storify, and now I'm very interested in this tool. Storify allows the user to clip content from all over the web and publish it in a "story" format with your own words explaining what is happening. If that wasn't very clear, check out this Storify about Facebook's manipulative attempt to influence users' emotions.
I think Storify will be an excellent resource in the English classroom (and especially in a journalism classroom!). It's an easy way to showcase research and present information without ads, which is something I love and will be very, very happy to have in a classroom setting.
Other users of Storify include the BBC, Al Jazeera, Yahoo, Dell and HBO.
I've always loved stories and I am a highly visual person. I can definitely see myself using Storify both as part of my direct instruction and as an assignment for my students!
