Curatori rappresentano un nuovo tipo di leadership tribale che opera dal basso e peer to peer. Come membro di una tribù, curatori saranno sempre più nativo e rilevanti rispetto a qualsiasi outsider saranno mai. All'interno di una tribù sono apprezzati non solo per sfruttare le loro abilità di insider, ma per sostenere e sviluppare la loro cultura.

Reminds me of the 'attention economy' in Geert Lovink's book "No Comment" I am reading just now for my research:
"In the attention economy, value is measured in the amount of time you happen to spend with any given media object or person. This can bea web site, watching your favorite show on television, text messaging afriend, talking on the phone, or blogging about the concert you attended-last night. For a long time the attention economy remained a hyped-upconcept, launched during the speculative 1990s to point to the shift fromthe production of tangible goods to immaterial services. The point thatmakes attention such an interesting commodity is the fact that it is soscarce. As Michael Goldhaber Writes in his 1996 Principles of the NewEconomy: "Attention is scarce because each of us has only so much of it to give, and it can come only from us-not machines, computers or anywhere else. Attention is another way of saying "time," as in "Where I choose to spend my time."Delete the scoop?

Being a 21st Century educator is creating a learning environment that is social, collaborative and project based. Teachers, nor anyone else for that matter, will ever be able to keep up with all new technologies. The trick is to focus on digital technologies that facilitate student collaboration.

Mob mentality can take over all too easily online. Your social stream has likely been flooded with status updates about breaking news. While it's important to stay current, establish a strong personal brand that doesn't waver based on what's trending. After all, the root of mom's lesson is to stay true to yourself.
