"Here are some guiding questions for creating your digital textbook:
How are the learners going to use the information?
How will they demonstrate their learning?
Are they completing a document, creating an outline or answering a set of questions?
What are the assessments associated with the material?"
"Reflection is such a huge tool for my own learning, and I feel like I’m getting better and better at finding ways to do this with students. It isn’t that I have never used student reflections to improve my own teaching. But now I’m learning how to get students to be better at making meaningful reflection part of their own learning process.
Here’s an example of what that means for my classroom practice. As we finished the last series of labs, one of my science classes felt that while they liked their current groupings, they could do better work with a triad instead of the traditional 4-person lab team. They believed that they had too much downtime, not enough to do, and that having smaller groups would alleviate this problem..."
Twitter conversations from the class "From Memex to YouTube: Introduction to new Media Studies" during the fall 2009 and fall 2010 semesters at Baylor University.
WebProNews interviewed Kate Brodock, the Executive Director of Digital and Social Media at Syracuse University about critical elements of successful content curation on the web. From her replies:
"People or organizations tend to falter in two areas. a) In the verification process
b) when they should be giving proper attribution to the original content creator.
These two areas need special attention.” ...proper attribution of the original content creator is very important. There are many ways to do this on various platforms, and there are generally recognized “best practices” that people use. If you neglect the attribution part of the equation, this is when you get into sticky situations (no matter what your expert lawyer has told you). ...It pays to take a look at how each platform handles this aspect of curation and make sure you’re dotting your “I”s and crossing your ‘t’s.” Right on the mark. 8/10

"I’ve been investigating ways to curate conversations that take place on the web, via social media and in other places. I’m doing so at this point mainly to be able to display some of the great conversations that happened in the two New Media Studies first year seminars (#nmsf09 and #nms_f10) where I was the Twitter-embedded librarian. So far I’ve been looking at Storify.com (where I have put my name in for an invite), Memolane.com, and Curated.by, which I have signed up for and begun to play around with."

"I asked some of my kiddos and my music teacher colleague, Monica Femovich, to help me explain our very new efforts in teaching curation. Usually game for anything Glee-ish, our singer/actors brilliantly and generously created an introduction I can use for instruction and in upcoming workshops."

Curation has been on my mind a lot these holidays….actually, a lot longer than that really. It’s been a long time since 2008 and first using Delicious with my students but it has been only 12 months since my introduction to Social Media as I now use it in my teaching and learning life. These two great presentations below have had me thinking about goals for the coming year.
For digital storytellers, the world is about to get a whole lot more interesting. For content consumers--which is pretty much all of us--there’s a chance things could actually start to fall into place.
