Some of the best tips you'll find around

Nunca viene mal compartir conocimientos de expertos. Evitemos el "nadie aprende en cabeza ajena"

Thanks!

Scooping this to basically reference it for more tips on curating. We are all works in progress.

With billions of people connected through social media and directly connected with email traditional curators of news and other content have had their business models destroyed but it has not surprisingly taken many years for better models to emerge. 

The widsom of crowds is well known but so is their stupidity (stock market crashes, group think, lowest common denominator in election outcomes...). Better curating tools and systems are beginning to show that valuable curators of the worlds content are able to find their audience and enrich the world with deep insight that replace the extremely low numbers of curators of the past (news paper barons).

Some of these curators will be paid and others do it just for the joy of it. Collectively they will reshape thinking and ultimately the world. 

Amazing

Por qué la curaduría de contenido es una nueva forma de comunicación

Curaduría de contenidos.

I haven't read this yet but "panels" are always a good way to get a synopsis of any subject......in this case: curation.

It seems so simple here!

Tips para na curaduría exitosa

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.

Rightful. 8/10

A timely reminder of how your friendly Teacher Librarian can hopefully give you a hand with sorting through resources and content available for you curriculum areas, thank you for sharing this :-)

Estamos evolucionando

Librarians have been doing this for years, but now have many tools to pick from!

LIbrarians are natural curators! It's what we do, so it makes sense that we should take the initiative to promot curation as a valuable skill for both our colleagues and our students.

outils de veille et partage

Le titre est ambitieux, l'article est très intéressant en ce qu'il concerne autant les fonctionnalités de l'outil qu'une analyse de son utilisation par l'entreprise désireuse de faire de la curation de contenu.

Scoop.it comes from Toulouse and is moving to San Francisco. How to impulse such businesses? They had the chance to have a really good ecosystem and important local public... 

yes !!

Retour sur quelques conseils pertinents pour une utilisation efficace de Scoop-it

La curation, le partage de données, lle tri de contenus, tout cela dans une mise en forme facilitée : voilà l'outil qui va devenir de plus en plus indispensable aux "chercheurs d'or" du web.

Les enseignants font déjà partie de ces chercheurs parce qu'il serait inconcevable  pour l'avenir de notre métier, d'ignorer plus longtemps cette mine d'informations, d'innnovations, de ressources pédagogiques, de contenus de toutes sortes, en cherchant la qualité plutôt que la quantité

A useful guide to the art of digital archiving.

Be sure to check out Robin Good's comments below.

Interesting post about archieving digital documents in a realiable way

Fascinating!

Makes sense to me.

Curating - how to manage it. And curation experts already exist - they're called Librarians!

Des ressources en anglais mais un impressionnant catalogue.

I love browsing museum collections online, and this site has links to some amazing ones I hadn't seen before.

Ahora si entendí qué es curation !!! 

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...

Good article on content curation. So important nowadays ,with so much information around us, we need tools to process it (such as netvibes, diigo, delicious, feedly, etc.)

La curation est une nouvelle forme de lecture adaptée au web, difficile de s'en passer...

Dans une société de l'hyperchoix, la curation (tri de l'information) est une nouvelle forme de lecture adaptée à une lecture fragmentée selon nos intérêts.

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":

"Content curation provides a potential path to a new type of thought leadership, one that is more suited to a world where information is no longer the scarce resource. Focus is. Meaning is. Wisdom is.

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.

Interview With Elizabeth Engel) by Brian Kelly of AssociationMaves.com

(23':41")

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. 

Good stuff on the last page about essential job skills and curation skills.
