"Content curation will play a major role both in the way we "teach" and in the way we educate ourselves on any topic. When and where it will be adopted, it will deeply affect many key aspects of the educational ecosystem."
Fantastic resource that not only provides resources for teachers and students, but allows for CURATION & customized collections. This could be a great way to have students learn CURATION skills - an important digital literacy. Google Apps integration.
Excellent introduction to the practice of Curation for Professional Learning. Engage in curation by using the steps of aggregation, evaluation, and organization. Use these resources to support all aspects of your teaching practice.
Kirsten Wilson (@teachwiki) shares how social media has provided the platform for educators (& others) to share, collaborate, & communicate, moving us from just being social to a community of learners. Curation is an important part of that process. She shares apps she uses to collect and share with others. I like how she includes several good questions to consider in the process.
"Through digital curation we collect, manage and collate the best, most relevant content, on a specific topic or theme, for ourselves and share with others.
Using tools like Scoop.it, Pinterest, Diigo and Livebinders educators collect the best resources to put them into context with organization, annotation and presentation."
This post is a summary of ideas, tips, and resources to become an effective curator.
Excellent choices for building digital portfolios that students can take with them - not embedded in an LMS or other district-managed software. Students can own their portfolios, but provide evidence and share their learning with transparency.
