An absolutely significant skill in any research or investigation, for educators and learners in the digital age - the curation of content- with a clear focus or question in mind, the capacity to target a search field, sift through, reflect on and make decisions about the most suitable resource or evidence to use. What a great learning experience.

La curación de contenidos abre una nueva puerta al aprendizaje y es que nos volvemos partícipes de la cadena, cuando nos detenemos a clasificar, analizar y publicar los contenidos que son más afines y relevantes según nuestras necesidades.

SCOOPS -- I began using Scoop when I was defining myself a LITE FEET DANCER. There was no single source of info about Lite Feet dance, a NYC Born Battle dance phenom and YouTube Sensation. I created LITE FEET SCOOP TO reference for my own resume but also to provide anyone interested a link to the multitude of YOUTUBE Channels, Sound Cloud and personal sites dedicated to this unique art form and the talented dancers who participate.

Sure it is!! Last week I showed my students how to scoopit. I thought that since they seem to love Facebook, Scoopit was going to be a wow experience for them. However, contrary to my expectations most of them did not show a real interest, or at least the kind of interest I expected. What a pain! Maybe it is a matter of time, culture, love for reading and writing, etc. From a group of 12 youngers, only 2 of them said: Thanks teacher, I like it! Well... I will keep on trying...

Elizabeth Weaver Engel and Jeff De Cagna are the authors of a small but very useful guide to Content Curation originally written for membership groups, and first published in November 2012. The guide offers a good introduction to why content curation is so important, how it can help any organization and what are the key things to know about it for anyone who knows little or nothing about it. From the original PDF guide, entitled "Attention Doesn't Scale: The Role of Content Curation in Membership Associations":
But that type of support will require a signicant shift in our business models. For decades, associations have been in the business of generating information. Our challenge now is to transform ourselves into being in the business of sense-making, helping members distinguish what new information is most relevant and integrate that information into their mental categories, and meaning-making, helping them understand the implications of that new information for their worldviews." Lots of good tips, references and relevant resources listed. Provides good foundational reference for any serious business reader. Good intro to content curation. Resourceful. Informative. 8/10 Pass it on.

With almost anyone now able to generate and publish content, finding relevance (signal to noise) is precoccupying knowledge workers everywhere. Sense-making, new media literacy and the ability to understand concepts across a wide range of disciplines are ctitical skills for the content curator in cutting through the noise to find that all important signal. Effective content curation will help us to focus and make sense of our complex and ambiguous world, to understand context and ultimately to make better decisons.

Curating is about finding and selecting information in order to learn about a subject. Youngsters can be encouraged to do this pre-school. This motivational 21st century skill can be encouraged at home. with educational games toys and and books which stimulates interest. For example children can learn about science by interacting with Chemistry Lab; Horrible Science - explosive experiments; Newton's Cradle and Science Museum. By the time they get to school they are already full of curiosity and ready to increase their knowledge. Audrey curating for www.homeschoolsource.co.uk

By Robin Good, Here's a short first-hand report highlighting how an 8th grade social studies class teacher (Terri Inloes) has fully leveraged the content curation potential to let her students dive, discover and make sense of topics (in this case social reform movements) that they had not studied before. All by themselves. Here the steps taken to make this happen: a) By using the Question Formulation Technique, the teacher prepared pairs of photographs representing each of the reform movements, one picture dating back to the late 19th century, and another representing where that social reform movement stands in today’s society. b) After checking out all of the photos, students settled on the pair of pictures that most caught their interest. c) They brainstormed and refined a set of specific questions, and then shared their thinking with the class. e) At this point students planned their research strategies. By using 5 different graphic organizers from the book Q Tasks, by Carol Koechlin and Sandi Zwaan, students were allowed to choose the one that they thought would help them the most in planning their keyword search strategies. f) Students were assigned WordPress blogs and provided basic instructions on how to use them to curate and publish their research work. g) Discovery and real learning kicked in as students proceeded in collaborative groups to research and document their chosen topic. You can see some of the outcomes that this assignment produced right here: General Conclusions http://tmsredvotingrights.d20blogs.org/2014/02/24/conclusion-3/ Voting Rights Inequality http://tmsredvotingrights.d20blogs.org/ Mental Health Treatment Prohibition Acts http://tmsorangeprohibitionacts.d20blogs.org/
A very inspiring example of content curation can be effectively applied in the classroom with impressive results. Highly recommended. 9/10 Thanks to Nancy White of Innovations in Education for participating, writing and reporting about it. Thanks to Robin Good for the fine summary in this insight. The ideas here offer a great classroom challenge to students.{Monica}

Robin Good's curator insight,
September 17, 2013 4:41 PM
Tom Webster illustrates clearly why content curation is not a backup solution for those looking for a content marketing strategy that saves them time and resources. Content curation, according to Tom Webster, "is even harder--and rarer--than quality creative output". and "...the ability to create value through curation is uncommon." And the solution, notwithstanding what conferences and events may appear to suggest, is not simply in having new fancy tools. The real difference is in how me and you curate the content we select. "And the learned skill (through pattern recognition) that both the content curator and the content docent must share is the ability to discriminate." Humans can "discriminate" in much more subtle ways than computers can, and this ability, if refined, is going to become a very valuable asset in the near future. This is why content curators as well as content "guides" (from museum docents) will play an increasingly important role to their audiences, especially when compared to those who are just passing on "interesting links". He further writes: "It will be increasingly difficult, in this age of declining content arbitrage, to build an audience through curation—to get new people to gravitate to your content if you are just passing along other people's content. But if you build an audience first—if you are known for something—then your curation has meaning." The author also points to two excellent examples of content curation: John Gruber (Daring Fireball) and Chris Penn (christopherspenn.com). A good reading for anyone interested in better understanding what content curation is all about.

William, I agree it's not always easy. I still find that some systems are better than others at encouraging attribution. For exemple Scoop.it keeps the link to the original site from which the content was clipped. Thus there is a way to go to the source.
Stephen Dale's curator insight,
June 15, 2013 3:29 AM
I liked the definition of Curation from Tome George (author of the piece): "A content curator is someone who finds, organizes, presents and shares valuable information (content) in many forms, on a specific topic, in a way that provides special context and or a unique engagement with his or her readers. In actuality when done correctly, over time it positions the curator as an expert in his or her respective field and defines their reputation as a thought leader. A good curator will mix curation with his or her own original content, to give interpretations for the express purpose of allowing others to form their own conclusions."

Google has just introduced "Collections", for Google+, a new service which allows any Google+ user to group his posts by topic and to create public, shareable collections of his favorite links, articles, videos and images.
To use Google Collections, simply go to your G+ profile page and then select "Collections" on the drop down menu appearing on the top left part of the page.
"Each collection can be shared publicly, privately, or with a custom set of people. Once you create your first collection, your profile will display a new tab where other people can find and follow your collections."
You can either create new posts containing whatever type of content inside a collection, or assign an existing, published post to a collection you have just created.
You can create as many collections as you like.
Google+ Collections is available on the web and on Android (iOS coming later).
My comment: Google+ Collections adds opportunity for creating additional value to G+ users by letting interests drive community engagement. This is a feature that sooner or later any social network will offer.
