Scoop it! is an interesting site which allows you to 'curate' digital content of relevance to your pupils. You specify a topic and parameters and Scoop it! will search the internet for suitable content.
At a click of a button, you can choose to 'scoop' the articles which you think are particularly relevant, discarding suggestions which are of more marginal importance. Scoop it! then assembles your chosen content in the form of an online 'magazine'. Imagine that your pupils are doing something on English spelling or New York restaurant menus. Scoop it! will crawl the internet suggesting authentic content sites based on the criteria you specify.
You can have a look at content I put together by specifying the topic of 'language teaching':
