How to use

Scoop.it is a fantastic tool for collating information and then sharing online.

1. Firstly, sign up to www.scoop.it and create yourself a free account.

2. This is what you should see now:

If you already use social

networking, you can sign up

with any of these accounts:

3. You can search for topics of interest using the ‘search’ box. This is a search for ‘interactive

whiteboard papers’.

4.

5. Let’s try ‘Rescoop from other users’. Now if you click on a scoop, it will show you all that one

person has scooped. For instance:

If there is something you like and want

to scoop, you have these options.

If I click on

this…..

This happens…. And I

can see what else this

person has scooped.

6. Now click on ‘My Topics’. This shows my existing Topics and ‘Create a Topic’.

7. Now fill in a title and description so you and others can find it later.

8. Here I am creating a scoop for Thinglink.

Let’s create a topic…….

Now click GO!

9. If you install the bookmarklet, you can scoop without loading up Scoop.it every time and scoop on

the go.

10. I want to search for Thinglink on Scoop.it and scoop some interesting articles.

11. Add a comment and now ‘Rescoop’ and it will be added to your newly created topic. You can

share your posts on the following:

Add to your favourites then you

scoop quickly on the move. Any

added content will also update any

scoops already embedded in

Moodle automatically.

After reading this article, I want

to scoop it. So I click here.

However, if you want to embed the

html code into Moodle……you need to

go to www.scoop.it/goodies. This is a

widget which enables you to embed

the topic on anything requiring html.

IMPORTANT

12. Log into the widget and choose which topic you want to share. I am choosing the Thinglink one.

Here you can alter the size of the screen you will see embedded and whether you want it scrolling or

not.

13. Lastly, log in to Moodle, turn editing on and go to the section you want to embed the code.

Add activity or resource

Choose label

Add

Now grab the code and embed it

where ever you like!

Click here and paste the

html code.

Click here and paste in the

html code. Save and return

to course.
