Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano has an interesting and highly visual post on collecting vs. curating with Twitter, and on the curation potential Twitter has in store for those involved in education.
She quotes Mike Fisher writing: "Collecting is what kids do when asked to find resources for a particular topic. Usually, it represents the first 3 or 4 hits on a Google search, without meaning, discernment, or connections.
Curating is different. It’s the Critical Thinker’s collection, and involves several nuances (see Figure 1) that separate it as an independent and classroom-worthy task."
Useful. Resourceful. 7/10

Robin's curated posts hits it on the nail with the distinct differences and although I like the visual aspects of the post, I struggle with referring to Twitter as a curating tool.
It is certainly a critical tool for collecting, researching and having the conversations. I think there is a challenge on how to effectively curate with Twitter. I know many use Storify to do this which is often a re- representationof the tweets.
I am very interested in how Twitter will use Summnify aand Posterous in the field of curation.
As a result, I really likw the distinctions made and the logic the author takes us through. I would perhaps be a little more cautious with referring Twitter as a curation tool.
Useful 6/10

What is EPIC-Ed? "Epic-ed [is] a national online community of practice, [which] offers a collaborative place where all educators can benefit from the opportunity to interact with others who are in the process of digital transition." They define digital transition as "the process of gradually moving away from a teacher-centered environment to a learning-centered environment." This page links you to their resources which includes the sections shown in the image: the four Cs, mobile learning, personalized learning, digital citizenship, highly connected educator and success story. A lengthy list of resources by category is also provided. A key component of EPIC-Ed is the digital transition cycle, which has four phases. The cycle may start from any of these phases: Vision, Plan, Implement, Assess. For more information on the digital transition cycle: https://www.epiced.org/page/digital-transition.
