  • So with the caveat that I am only halfway through Mark Bauerline’s book The Dumbest Generation, I have some early impressions to throw out there. While I think there is some merit to this side of the debate (much like Keen’s Cult of the Amateur) what really bothers me about this book so far is, as the title suggests, this sense that our kids are at fault. Let me put it plainly: our kids are not “dumb” nor is this generation “dumb” simply because they spend a lot of time in front of television screens and computers or because they haven’t worked out for themselves how to get smarter using the Read/Write Web.

    "I have owned an iPad for quite some time now, and found it to be an excellent tool for both amateur photographers like myself and professionals alike. Sure, an iPad will never be able to replace a computer for serious photo editing (well, for me, anyway,) but I feel that it has definitely earned a place in the discerning photographers kit bag."

    "Photos, logos, graphics and images are an important part of any multimedia creation that students produce. A few well placed, high quality images can transform class work from amateur to spectacularly professional. So, unless you plan on taking your own photographs or creating your own artwork, finding legitimate Creative Commons images is an essential digital skill. To help students (and teachers) navigate and understand the often confusing space that is digital copyright, here are five tools that we recommend using to to search, reference, attribute and download Creative Commons images."

    "While GarageBand is gorgeous and immediately intuitive to use, it's not quite so full featured as a music production app. Regardless of whether you're an amateur or professional musician, if you like to come up with your own tunes and beats, you'll be glad to know FL Studio Mobile by Image Line Software will pick up where GarageBand doesn't. For starters, in addition to the iPad, FL Studio Mobile is available on the iPhone and iPod Touch too."

    "It wasn't too long ago that photo editing was the business of dedicated professionals and cashed up amateurs. It would take hours of work and a studio of expensive equipment to turn flat photos into creative and beautiful works of art. Now, all we need is the phone in our pocket! Moldiv Collage Photo Editor is one of the most popular free photo editing apps, and with its amazingly simple interface comes a powerful and fun tool that both teachers and students can use to create collages, patterns and unique designs."

  • Content curation is so much more than compiling lists and dropping articles, blog posts, and images into pretty templates. Platforms like Paper.li may work for amateurs, but content curation is big time business.
  • Content curators — or editors — find, sort, categorize, and distill the big data and vast amount of content that’s accessible to us.
  • Curators are editors — typically people with hard-core newsroom experience — who are liked and trusted by readers. Curators use their brains; they tap into emotions.
