When Brian Solis called 2011 the "year of curation," he identified a growing trend in how people are addressing the issue of information overload. Today's common approach to curation is driven by individuals who pick out the information they find important, fun, and interesting to share with their friends. The problem with this approach is we naturally tend to associate with like-minded friends, so we're not exposed to a diverse set of information. The outcome is we get stuck in what Eli Pariser calls "Filter Bubbles." A new approach that we call "collective curation" represents a more effective and more efficient way to get the information we need.

More and more, social media is becoming a part of our daily lives. Just today, Mashable is out with a report that says Pintrest (which is less than a year old) is the #3 social network in the U.S. This report mentions that the amount of monthly traffic Facebook receives is seven billion page views, and Twitter receives 182. Again, these are just U.S. statistics. If we were to look at the numbers worldwide, I would guess they would be much, much higher.
But it isn't just adults who are moving more of their lives to online spaces. In a recent Pew Internet survey, 73 percent of all teens used social networks daily. The most popular of these is Facebook; however, Twitter, Myspace and even LinkedIn are not far behind.
And it isn't just teens. The #1 social network for kids under the age of 13 is Club Penguin. It is visited more times each day than the New York Times.. Delete the scoop?

As educators, we have a professional image to uphold and how we conduct ourselves online impacts this image. As reported by the media, there have been instances of educators demonstrating professional misconduct while engaging in inappropriate dialogue about their schools and/or students or posting pictures and videos of themselves engaged in inappropriate activity online. Mistakenly, some educators feel that being online shields them from having their personal lives examined. But educators’ online identities are very public and can cause serious repercussions if their behavior is careless. Delete the scoop?
