6 Great tools for content curation - Daily Genius

6 Great tools for content curation - Daily Genius | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

I read recently that content curation is dead. I have a few different arguments against this concept, but for now, I’ll keep it short and sweet: Content curation is not dead, and while the debate over curating content online vs creating new content will rage on and on, curating content for other reasons is still going strong.

Begoña Iturgaitz's curator insight, October 5, 2014 6:02 AM

I also agreee with this issue as good references are still a must.  Probably, we'd  stick to great curation features: short, simple and useful. Curation tools are smart mainly for two purposes:  the basic, to share only best quality  content on the web and secondly to release good content you've already produced.  The only hiccups is to be honest enough to publish only best  quality stuff.

10 Excellent Social Bookmarking Tools for Teachers | Educational Technology & Mobile Learning

10 Excellent Social Bookmarking Tools for Teachers | Educational Technology & Mobile Learning | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Social bookmarking is a new concept that has seen the light with the emergence of bookmarking services like the ones I cited below.Semantically speaking, ' social bookmarking' is made up of the the term " social " which is related to society and general interactions between people, and the verb " to bookmark " (used here as a gerund ending in ing) which has to do with recording and/or saving content for both later use and quick access. Weaving the semantic reference of the two words results in social bookmarking as we know it today : a collaborative and collective saving and sharing of web content.'

Sqworl - A Simple Visual Bookmarking Tool for Teachers

Sqworl - A Simple Visual Bookmarking Tool for Teachers | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Four years ago I reviewed a neat bookmarking tool called Sqworl [http://sqworl.com/] . This morning the developer of Sqworl emailed me to share some new features of the service. The new features are the option to open all links in a group at once and the option to view all links within Sqworl without having to leave the service.

Curation as a tool for teaching and learning

What is curation anyway, and how can it be used as a tool for student and teacher learning? This essay will investigate what curation is and the different contexts it is used in. Why is it important; who are the curators, what motivates them and what makes a great curator? What processes and tools are used for curation and what digital literacies are required for successful curation? It will conclude with an investigation into ways teachers can use curation both with and for their students and as a tool for their own professional learning and a brief look at some curation tools.

Why Curation Matters | Blogging About The Web 2.0 Connected Classroom | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

I spend a great deal of time looking up stuff. Whether that stuff is blog posts to get a pulse on what is happening in the edusphere or researching new tools to share with teachers, I come across a wide variety of resources that I need to save, catalog and be able to come back to later. Curation is a large part of my day. 

But what is curation? Why is it important and how can you do it easily?
