As I explored Storify this week, I had a hard time seeing just how it might be supportive in an educational setting. So I tried looking for examples of its usage or implementation, not strictly in a higher education setting, but in any learning effort. One resource I located was interesting because it touched upon Storify's ability to help encourage students to critically evaluate the sources they choose to use. This could be for two reasons; their work will be viewed by others instead of only the instructor, and most students are encouraged to investigate the validity of online resources.

The next resource I found very helpful is a blog post from an 'Irish feminist researcher in transatlantic dialogue with the Americas'! This entry is very helpful because it provides examples of Storify work and exactly what she used it for with regards to educational settings. She also references other tools that we have discussed this semester, including the Storfication of tweets and the differences between Storify and Pinterest.
