Curating vs. Collecting on Twitter for the Education Professional | TELT | Scoop.it
Shona Whyte's insight:

Discussion of the utility of online curation for oneself and others; importance of tagging (also important on Scoop.it): "I am carefully thinking about future keywords I might be searching for in order to recall a particular tweet (s)."

NDgrazer's curator insight, January 9, 4:18 AM

 

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
