2. Pearltrees is my favorite social curation tool in 2010 and here you can make a PLN -  social curation community.

It is the social way to discover, organize and share the stuff you like on the web.

Use Pearltrees to keep the stuff you like on the web at hand, to discover new things in your areas of interest and to share them with your friends.

Pearltrees' game play is pretty simple, but its potential is limited solely by your imagination:

Pearl the stuff you like on the Web.

Organize your pearls into your own pearltrees.

Discover other users' pearltrees with the search box or the minipearl.

Team up with others to curate the pearltrees you like

Pick pearltrees when you are interested in them and follow their updates

Share pearltrees by embedding them on your blog or on other social services

5.DIIGO IN EDUCATION :

The 21st century calls for knowledge workers who can effectively utilize the vast array of information that resides on the internet and who are capable of processing the information collaboratively with others.  Bob Wolf, of The Boston Consulting Group, and a researcher on the use of internet in public education recently commented: "We believe that Web2.0 technologies will define and be defined by the skill requirements of the 21st century workforce. It is time to understand whether models have emerged for using these tools that are superior to traditional classroom teaching alone and what are the best approaches for the practitioner to implement them."

In the education setting, we all know that project-based learning is an effective way to teach students and cultivate their skills of finding, organizing, synthesizing, and presenting information, as well as the social skills of working in groups, all of which are necessary in the knowledge-based economy. Among the web 2.0 technologies, Diigo is a great tool for this kind of exploratory and collaborative learning.

Diigo is an effective tool for teaching as well. Diigo's features allow teachers to highlight critical features within text and images and write comments directly on the web pages, to collect and organize series of web pages and web sites into coherent and thematic sets, and to facilitate online conversations within the context of the materials themselves.  Diigo also allows teachers to collaborate and share resources among themselves.

Diigo is much more than a simple web annotation or social bookmarking service -- it is a new kind of online research and collaborative research tool that integrates tags and folders, highlighting and clipping, sticky notes, and group-based collaboration, enabling a whole new process of online knowledge management, learning, and teaching in the information age.Diigo group #edtech20

6.SymbalooEDU is a PLE curation tool to organize and share the best of the web with others, for example your friends, colleagues or students. Create , share and discover .using Symbaloo is a new visual way of navigation on the internet.

Glogster EDU empower educators and students with the technology to create GLOGS - online multimedia posters - with text, photos, videos, graphics, sounds, drawings, data attachments and more.

8 . JOGTHEWEB is a web-based tool that allows anyone to create a synchronous guide to a series of web sites.

Its step by step approach of taking viewers through web sites allowing the author to annotate and ask guiding questions for each page is unique.
