"Students not enjoying reading is not a new thing. This epidemic has been going on for quite some time. From recent shifts in standards and conversations with students and teachers, I have noticed that students who may not like to read are typically tying that to fiction. Whereas, when it is a shorter informational text, they are much more interested.
Flipboard is an app on Apple OS devices and the Android app store. If your school has a bring your own device policy (BYOD) I think this is a great way to help reinstitute a love for reading with students. Another selling point to students might be that it allows you to consolidate all of your social media accounts into one place (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram). It places posts, regardless of the platform, into a more aesthetically pleasing view. Let's be honest, we like pictures.

"Good content curation doesn't consist of simply regurgitating content that others have published. Your brand story-telling must include a human element in the form of personalizing the information and making it compelling to your social media followers. Successful programs provide context and communicate it in a transparent fashion, enabling you to amplify your brand message and create passionate subscribers. This graphic from Socialbites illustrates the process of content curation:"

Curate around a topic. RebelMouse makes it easy to bring in a mix of content around the web to become a hub for one event, issue or community. For instance, WNYC used RebelMouse as a hub for information around Hurricane Sandy leading up to and during the storm. Andy Carvin's site is another great example of how powerful curated content around events can be.
