This is very insightful when creating an effective, authentic and reliable curation collection.  It is resources like this one that I feel will benefit others in their teaching and learning journey.

This infographic provides insight into showing how to enhance learning. Critical thinking is an important skill in today's world. Students need encouragement in taking ownership of their own learning. We can find ways to encourage students from this link.

Ya en el esquema se ve como ir mejorando la practica, seleccion y calificacion de los sitios y contenidos.

It is also good to brand your curation. For exemple with tools like Social Dynamite. www.social-dynamite.com

A good overview of why it is good to curate content. I also think that for teachers the curation of content can be very meaninfult as they apply certain ideas and technology to their teaching. Their curation in a 'niche' can reflect their growth and development.

This article provides a frame work tha you can use to model your curation strategies around.I saved a copy of this for future reference Give it a look!...

En este trabajo se sintetiza muy bien la definición, funciones y "pecados" del Content Curator ("Intermediador crítico del conocimiento" D.Reig).

Importante aportación breve pero precisa de lo que cada uno tiene que realizar como usuario asiduo de la web (2.0), sobre todo si está comprometido (a) en realizar labor profesional académica, es parte de un entrenamiento cibercognitivo y tecno pedagógico, -agregaría- dentro de la formación y evidencia de las competencias digitales, un nuevo estandar de la cibercultura.

Thanks to Robin Good for finding this article.

This article showcases a number of great examples of Storify being used to tell stories. Also included are some basic steps to follow if you want to use Storify to tell your story:

1. Make sure you have accounts for your site or organization on all the major social networks.

2. Use hashtags and keywords to find story content.

3. Craft the story.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Hats to Susan Mernit, who has an excellent piece on Knight Digital Media Center about how to do effective news curation and storytelling with Storify.

She brings in lots of relevant stories and examples showcasing how other individuals and journalists have been effectively using this news curation platform.

"The most successful creators of Meograph and Storify pages are united by one thing: they’re skilled editors and curators who know how to look at content posted on multiple social networks and pull out the pieces that will best help them to tell a story."

“Storify is the best way to gather tweets, comments, snippets and images from all around the Web and put them into one post. It's a new way of blogging that lets all your Internet friends participate.”

Brava Susan, great job and superglad to have intercepted you again.

Instructive. Informative. Resourceful. 8/10

To choose which news story to curate and pass on to your readers, is not always something easy to do.

My personal suggestion is to look only for the most interesting and relevant stories for your audience while leaving out anything that is mildly interesting. I'd always go for quality over quantity and I would not discard little-read stories or dated ones, because of these two factors. Rather I'd select them on the basis of their immediate usefulness to my reader and not on the one of their freshness or recency.

Serena Matter, of the Canadian Public Relations Society, has just published a short article suggesting three key criteria to employ in selecting what news to curate each day. She writes:

"Finding content to share online can be a challenge, especially when your goal is to provide information of interest to your followers.

In many instances, it is easier to re-tweet something that appears in your newsfeed, even if it’s not that relevant to your industry, than to come up with new material.

However, this wastes a valuable opportunity to engage your online stakeholders. Rather than taking the easy way out, there are a few simple guidelines you can follow to ensure any content you share offers value. When creating or searching for material to share, keep this acronym in mind: C.I.A. (Current, Interesting, Applicable)."

But beware: "current" is a misleading variable, as "something" can be "current" depending on the specific context in which it is presented and it is not an absolute trait of a news story.

A story from two years ago can be made immediately current and relevant simply by relating and connecting it to other information which is directly impacting our present.

Good for beginners. 6/10
