Every day appear startup curation tools, many of them are verry interesting to use for teachers, but for some reasons some edtools said good bye . Now I present 3 interesting startups who said adio .


 
Edshelf mission was to make a positive impact in the world by making education more efficient and effective, strive to enable educators to do what they do best, teach and inspire.
edshelf is a directory of websites, mobile apps, and desktop programs that are rated & reviewed by parents & educators, for parents & educators. They help you find the right educational tools for your specific needs.


Claco was a startup curation tool for educators, a “GitHub for teachers,” a place where teachers can set up their own profiles and share what they’re up to professionally. On Claco,  teachers  build, organize and share lesson plans (Claco supports a range of lesson content, like website links, embed codes, videos, etc.), along with searching through those posted by the community.
The idea is to make collaboration a key focus of the platform, enabling teachers to streamline the lesson-planning process and work together to share and enhance their own work, as well as the work of others. This was Claco .

Springpad was a web and mobile app that helps users get organized, get inspired, and get more done.
Springpad lets users create digital notebooks for all kinds of projects and interests, which they can fill with tasks, notes, checklists, products, bookmarks, photos, places and other data types. Springpad then automatically enhances and updates what users save, providing suggested shopping lists and wine pairings for recipes, showtimes for movies, current prices and availability for products, etc.

Snip.it lets you keep an annotated, shareable library of the best content you find online. You can snip anything on the web, add your opinion, then organize it into collections themed around the topics you want to catalog. Great pieces of journalism, funny videos or memes, articles for a research project — your Snip.it library lets you save the content you care about and express yourself through your interests.
What’s more, you can discover new content by subscribing to other Snippers’ collections. All the snips from collections you’re subscribed to will show up in your My Subscriptions tab. You can also browse snips from collections we’ve featured on the Featured page, or search any topic to see what people are snipping around it.

From their website http://snip.it/

Snip.it is Joining Forces with Yahoo!

We are excited to share some big news: Snip.it has been acquired by Yahoo!. For the past year and a half, we've worked tirelessly as a team to build the best social news platform on the web. We've been absolutely blown away by the breadth, depth and quality of the content you guys share on Snip.it every day. You helped make it a treasure trove of unique content, and we cannot thank you enough for your contributions to the platform, as well as your valuable feedback on the product.

We are thrilled at the opportunity to bring Snip.it's vision to a larger scale at Yahoo!. While we can't share the specifics of what we'll be building, we are excited about the opportunity to take social news to new, exciting heights at Yahoo!. The Yahoo! team is passionate about inspiring and entertaining the world’s daily habits, and certainly sharing news and information is something we all do every day. The vision and energy at the company is contagious, and we’re so excited to be part of all that is to come.

As of today, we will no longer support snipping. However, we've built a few options for you to download and export all your snips. The download link will be available until February 21, 2013.
