Jennifer Gonzalez writes: "In an educational setting, curation has a ton of potential as an academic task. Sure, we’re used to assigning research projects, where students have to gather resources, pull out information, and synthesize that information into a cohesive piece of informational or argumentative writing. This kind of work is challenging and important, and it should remain as a core assignment throughout school, but how often do we make the collection of resources itself a stand-alone assignment?"
Jennifer shares great ideas for using curation--with student writing! Instead of an annotated bibliography, have students use elink to create a more visually appealing curated list of resources.
