Researching a topic can be like being a contestant on //The Amazing Race//. You start off going one place. Then you are sent to another place. And from there to another place. Pretty soon you have visited different cities in different countries and it is hard to remember which place was the best. Except, instead of visiting the exotic locations like they do on this popular reality show, you are visiting websites, blogs, wikis and a variety of other digital resources.

Beyond the Book provides a place where you can collect and organize all of the best digital resources you find on a topic. Example: you are studying about the best singers of the past century. You find one website that talks about how Beyonce got her start. Document that website here. You read a blog about Carrie Underwood's best songs. Document that blog here. You find a Wikipedia page that has details of Justin Bieber's recent crazy antics. You close that webpage as quickly as you can! Anyhow, you get the idea.

Beyond the Book is the place to find the CMS_lmc's curated collection of digital resources. Selected, organized and maintained by Canonsburg Middle School students.

"//The idea behind curators and content curation is that there is such a flood of new content pouring through the Internet pipes these days that being aware of all of it and sorting it out in meaningful ways is simply not possible. Curators are people or organizations that do the hard work of sifting through the content within a particular topic area or “meme” and pulling out the things that seem to make most sense. This effort involves significantly more than finding and regurgitating links, though."// -From // [|Who Are Your Curators?] by Jeff Cobb found on his website,// //[|Mission to Learn]//
