  • connected learning
  • What would it mean to think of education as a responsibility of a distributed network of people and institutions, including schools, libraries, museums and online communities? What would it mean to think of education as a process of guiding youths’ active participation in public life that includes civic engagement, and intellectual, social, recreational, and career-relevant pursuits? How can we take advantage of the new kinds of intergenerational configurations that have formed in which youth and adults come together to work, mobilize, share, learn, and achieve together? What would it mean to enlist in this effort a diverse set of stakeholders that are broader than what we traditionally think of as educational and civic institutions?
  • Full Participation -- learning environments, communities, and civic life thrive when all members actively engage and contribute.

  • n addition, connected learning calls on today’s interactive and networked media in an effort to make these forms of learning more effective, better integrated, and broadly accessible.
  • peer learning need not be peer-isolated
  • Academically oriented
  • Peer-supported
  • Shared purpose -- Connected learning environments are populated with adults and peers who share interests and are contributing to a common purpose.
  • Cross-generational learning and connection thrives when centered on common interests and goals.
  • Production-centered
  • Learning is most resilient when it is linked and reinforced across settings of home, school, peer culture and community.
  • The urgent need to reimagine education grows clearer by the day.
  • Additionally, technology and the networked era threatens to stretch the already-wide equity gap in education unless there is decisive intervention and a strong public agenda.

  • What is Content Curation?
  • It isn’t unlike what a museum curator does to produce an exhibition:   They identify the theme, they provide the context, they decide which paintings to hang on the wall, how they should be annotated, and how they should be displayed for the public.
  • it isn’t surprising that  data or content on the Internet is  measured in exabytes, or billions of gigabytes.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Why is Content Curation Valuable?
  • content curation can be professional of learning
  •  Finding the information or “seeking”  is only one third of the task

      Seeking/sense making/ sharing. Scoop.it is best example I can show you.
  • with so much information available and coming at us from many sources,  we often don’t know if it’s the right information or if it’s current.
  • In today’s world of content abundance,  the skill of  how to find, make sense, and share content that we need to be effective in our work is critical.   Simply put, being a content curator is a method to help you stay informed about your field and be more effective at your job.
  • putting them into a context with organization, annotation, and presentation.
  • Making sense of the information is just as important.  Sense making can be a simple as how you annotate the links your share,  the presentation,  or what you’ve left out.      Sense making can be writing a blog post using the links (like this post) or summarizing the key points in a presentation.  
  • Finally, the sharing – is about giving the best nuggets of content to your audience in a format that they can easily digest and apply it.
  • Putting content curation into practice is part art form, part science, but mostly about daily practice.   You don’t need to do it for hours, but a little bit everyday will help you develop and hone the skills.  It is best to do the seeking part in small bursts to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
