Italian officer reading his daily newspaper on a vaporetto in the laguna of Venice.
With the abundance of information overflowing the web and our daily digital lives it is a gust of fresh air when you come across something simple and clever as Daily paper.li which generates a daily newspaper based upon your Twitterstream (or Facebookstream).
Scanning and skimming the web for information is an important skill, and should be taught as a reading skill. I am trying to find ways of teaching about social bookmarking, social notetaking, RSS-feeds and general digital organisation, but I’m struggling to find effective ways. I think services like paper.li will be one of many ways of generating relevant content in the sea of information created.
