Why Curate?

How do your students research and share information that they find with the rest of class?

How do you maintain your internet resources that inform your own teaching and learning?

What tools do you use to manage or facilitate presentation of resources?

Is it public? Can students access it at other times? In

groups?

handout to students in online and flipped classrooms. collect and share professional reading materials with students.

foster discussion about current events. encourage students to become both content creators and

curators. connect to experts outside class and to the world knowledge base.

critique information available on the web. teach students to curate social media. help students gain

credibility and exposure. keep track of online research efforts. create reading lists. help students gain access to the ‘collective intelligence’ of the

Internet. -

Storify

is a way to tell ‘stories’ using social media such as tweets, Facebook posts, photos, URLs and videos. Users search multiple social networks from one place, and then drag individual elements into stories.

Users can re-order the elements and also add text to help give context to the readers.
