Curated Booklist/Booktrailer Using Thinglink

Here's my first project created through a culmination of the most recent books I've read and enjoyed.  The icons have cool book trailers or publisher/author sites.  I really like this tool!

Digital Curation presentation

This is another presentation I'll be doing this summer for professional development.  It's all about digital curation but more than that, it's giving educators some tools before school starts so they can begin to explore the possibilities, get hands-on learning, and think about incorporating projects into lessons or even begin to collaborate with others to think above and beyond

Ounce of Curation is Worth a Pound of Cure: Information about Digital Curation

I've been fascinated about digital curation and its uses in education.  So here, in note-taking format, are things I put down about digital curation after I proposed this to our tech department as a topic for a  tweetchat.  It's also sparked me to use this for a presentation proposal at a tech conference(crossing my fingers!)
Read on if you want to know a little more about digital curation :)


DC is the process of sorting through too much information and packaging it around a theme

it is NOT the same as social sharing or repost/retweet.  It's not about ME, but more about the INTENT

You can include social media for S (students) to access content and leave feedback as a source of evaluation

Scoop.it; Storify; Pinterest; Paper.li; digital bookmarks; trap.it (best testing); Flipboard

Impacts digital literacy, student engagment and creativity

Get S to curate for projects, research papers et al to collaboratively share information

T (teachers) can use across curriculums as well as enhance their own

DC MUST use Bloom's through forum and discussion.  Don't use curation tools to simply bookmark sites.  It MUST ENGAGE students!

DC should answer the why, who for, and the value of its whole for T and S together

DC isn't autonomous and helps create a broader PLN

When textbooks are no long used in a class, DC is an alternative to creating your own textbook

McGraw Hill Create excellent example of DC

Open Author another good example.  Also excellent OER

Knowmia over 10k video lessons for teachers, including creating/sharing lesson plans and vids

Getting a little deeper with digital curation

Tonight I'll be co-hosting a Twitterchat about digital curation and its implications on education today with fellow librarian, Sue Fitzgerald.  Since first hearing about digital curation a couple of weeks ago, I started truly researching the subject.  It's about sharing, collaboration, discussion, and PLN.  If you want to join me, it'll be tonight at 8:30 pm CST.  The hashtag is #nisdnov8.
(if you've never done a tweetchat, just search for this hashtag and keep refreshing it every 30 seconds or so to read what people have contributed to the topic.  If you want to tweet something to share, just say what you want but use the hashtag before or after your twitter)
