This is an interesting workshop presentation given at #converge11 by Joyce Seitzinger. It has a focus on curation in EduTech but is generic as well in a lot of aspects.
In particular, I love the distinction she makes from slide 22 onward between all types of "curators": a fun way of showing what curation best practices should be all about. Via catspyjamasnz, Guillaume Decugis

I've been exploring the idea of 'the social media classroom' and how I view teachers with an emerging role as curators, but also teaching student the skills of curation so they can get the right resources in an age of ubiquitous information. I'll have to keep in touch.

Erik Erikson recalled that Freud was once asked what he thought a normal person should be able to do well. The questioner probably expected a complicated, “deep” answer. But Freud simply said, “Lieben und arbeiten” (to love and to work).

Some parents like to put pictures of their children on the net, particularly on social networking sites, often making them freely accessible to everybody. As part of our campaign, we have prepared a sample of such a picture with a warning – paedophiles are enjoying it!
The campaign was launched as a response to a recent case where parents participated in a competition on Facebook called ‘The nicest baby’, displaying pictures of naked newborn children.
===> Increasing the awareness of people to empower them to avoid serious problems in the virtual and real world is our Christmas present to them! <===

Bodin said there’s no automatic app discovery or tracking software to detect if a user is downloading apps that could be seen as objectionable by managers. IBM, however, has long had in place “very aggressive” business conduct guidelines that should govern the behaviors and personal decisions of users when picking apps.
IBM requires every staffer to sign these business conduct guidelines, but this new policy does provide some room for employees to slack off. Interestingly enough, this has been proven to actually increase productivity by a couple of students at the Academy of Management in Texas.

Next year, Safer Internet Day (SID) will take place on Tuesday 7 February 2012 and will be centred on the theme Connecting generations and educating each other, with the slogan: "Discover the digital world together... safely!"
About Connecting Generations This topic looks at the reach of the online world across all generations and cultures and encourages families to work together to stay safe online. Whether you are 5, 40 or 75 years old, whether you use the internet once a month or several times a day - each person has something different to bring to the table that can help shape our online experiences and our understanding of online competences and safety. We all have a role to play in ensuring that every child is safe online.
Today our offline and online worlds are strongly connected, from families communicating via webcam with relatives and friends abroad to children doing their homework online. The online world is a unique arena where people of all ages can learn together and from each other, especially regarding online safety. Tech savvy youngsters can teach their elders how to use new technologies, while grandparents can draw on their life experiences to advise younger generations on how to stay safe online, as they discover the digital world together.

The Internet seems like another member of the family sometimes. It lives in our home and follows us wherever we go, it vies for our attention, and it entertains us. The habits we fall into around our online lives has a profound effect on our family relationships, especially when it comes to parents and kids.
