Content Curation

Process

In this weeks assignment, we had to look curate 25 articles about a topic of our choosing.  For my projects, I decided to focus on makerspaces.  Specifically I decided to provide articles that could be used to make a case for developing a makerspace in a school and considerations to take into account.  To do this I made liberal use of the subtopic features.  

The process of creating my curated topic was timely for me.  I will be transitioning schools and will be responsible for developing two makerspaces.  Having these articles clearly organized with questions, will help me when it comes time to make my case to admin and teachers.

Self-evaluation

Final Reflection

Curating topics requires car and consideration.  Unlike, the act of retweeting, liking, or sharing work using any of the variety of typical social media tools, curation tools, provide the opportunity for the curator to structure the articles in a way that promote deeper thinking, makes logical sense, etc.  After going through this exercise I'm convinced of the importance of curation using curation tools.

For my own evaluation of sites to use for curation, I think some aspects will need tweaking to make it more applicable in the professional realm.  I should add a section specifically for evaluating blogs as they can be a vital source of information.
