How Curation Can Be Used To Teach Critical Thinking, Analysis and Expression Online

How Curation Can Be Used To Teach Critical Thinking, Analysis and Expression Online | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it

by Paul Mihailidis and James N. Cohen

 

"In today's hypermedia landscape, youth and young adults are increasingly using social media platforms, online aggregators and mobile applications for daily information use. Communication educators, armed with a host of free, easy-to-use online tools, have the ability to create dynamic approaches to teaching and learning about information and communication flow online. In this paper we explore the concept of curation as a student- and creation-driven pedagogical tool to enhance digital and media literacy education. We present a theoretical justification for curation and present six key ways that curation can be used to teach about critical thinking, analysis and expression online. We utilize a case study of the digital curation platform Storify to explore how curation works in the classroom, and present a framework that integrates curation pedagogy into core media literacy education learning outcomes."

The Gorilla Foundation relies on mobile apps to interact with and help care for their gorillas.

Find out what they can do through (FileMaker) technology.

I learned about an organization called the Gorilla Foundation whose mission statement is "to learn about gorillas by communicating with them, and apply our knowledge to advance great ape conservation, education, care and empathy — conservation through communication." They have two gorillas at their facility named Koko and Ndume and use specialized mobile apps to work with their charges. These gorillas use sign language to communicate and the Foundation employs staff as dual caregivers/researchers who work with them directly thanks to these apps, which record data and enhance contact between humans and gorillas in ways I'll explore below.
