Scripting News: Meanwhile RSS is some powerful...
See on Scoop.it - CurationEd Dave Winer, father of RSS, shows how his curation of the Olympics (http://olympics.newsriver.org/) beats hell out of Twitter’s. Twitter’s shame-filled treatment of NBC critic Guy Adams (http://deadspin.com/5930153/nbcs-no-1-tweeting-critic-has-been-suspended-from-twitter) shows just how little either of these info behemoths get curation (or news for that...

Ackkkkk, Curating the '200 Best Special Education...
See on Scoop.it - CurationEd I have begun to get a bit reflexive when I see a number in a blog post like the ‘200’ in the Edudemic post by Jeff Dunn. Which isn’t to criticize the content at all. It is nicely laid out in a Scribd document that is embedded for the reader in the post. The original author, Eric Sailers is to be commended. What happens though as busy special ed...
Curation in Education: Great Examples - Mind Map
See on Scoop.it - CurationEd A collaborative map of great examples of content curation at work in education. I would like to know more about the curatorial criteria the author uses to add to and filter out ‘great’ examples. Or is this just one of those, “I know what’s great when I see it” deals? There are some sites I have never seen before including a couple of...

backchan.nl -- open source to involve the audience
See on Scoop.it - Tech Pedagogy The MIT Media Lab has developed an open source backchannel that would be ideal for the classroom for learners who are for whatever reason unwilling to raise their hands and their voices. It is interesting how Universities are increasingly putting out the best new and useful tech tools—Vialogues being the first one that comes to mind. This tool is easy to...
Curation Platforms | Comparison tables -...
See on Scoop.it - CurationEd This is a cool matrix that compares various curation platforms. Even more interestingly the matrix was created using an online tool called SocialCompare, what they call a collaborative comparison engine. You can create your own matrices collaboratively (co-curating a table if you will). Now that is new wrinkle for me. I can see this as a year long, ongoing class...
The Guardian formalizes audience curation with...
See on Scoop.it - CurationEd The Guardian’s U.S. site enlists readers in an ongoing effort to help aggregate news and analysis for top stories. The Guardian’s attempt to do crowdcurating looks like a winner as they try to get folks to enter into a long-term relationship with a hashtag—#smarttakes. This begs the question: could curators start a similar quest in...

See on Scoop.it - CurationEd Shatzkin always has an interesting take on media and this post is no different. He writes here about ‘aggregation and curation’ in both the physical and the digital worlds.

Stop Calling it Curation
See on Scoop.it - CurationEd Matt Langer has a go at ‘curation’ as a useless term. His main argument is to dismiss the desires of others to make sense, to help others and to reduce noise in the digital world. I think we have a ‘road to curation’ and that road is a long, difficult one of imperfect mastery. I think he is angry because someone has taken away his word for...
Apps in Education: 10 iPad Apps for Web Curation
See on Scoop.it - CurationEd I have a few of these on my iPad although, oddly, I didn’t have scoop.it. This site curates education apps into a best in show. The site has separate categories for various learning disciplines including special needs and Math. It is well worth an explore outside your own discipline with the idea of using some apps in ways for which they weren’t...

QS Primer: Spaced Repetition and Learning |...
See on Scoop.it - Tech Pedagogy Tech pedagogues should always be looking for digital and mobile versions of analog tools. Space Repetition is an old memory technology that has been updated here and other places, but the tools are available now. This is a great place to start. The comments even include a link to a review of the literature of space repetition. I know that I will be using these...
Noam Chomsky – The Purpose of Education
See on Scoop.it - CurationEd Shaz says, “Few months old, yes, but I’ve just come back to it with fresh eyes.” Chomsky says, “The person who wins the Nobel Prize in biology is not the one who read the most journal articles, it’s the one who knew what to look for. Cultivating that capacity to seek what’s significant always will answer the question of whether...

Foldables - Language Arts
See on Scoop.it - CurationEd Kids like to cut, kids like to manipulate, kids need to bodily embed text. Adults like them, too. I hope that tools like these remind me that we never stop needing to connect mind and body, to embody ideas. Foldables might be a good stopping place to begin that journey whatever age your learner is. Now…I need to get myself a set of classroom scissors and...
The Augmented Reality Daily
See on Scoop.it - Augmented Reality in the Classroom A personalized newspaper built from articles, blog posts, videos and photos selected by Pekka Puhakka on the general topic of augmented reality.

Democratizing Composition
See on Scoop.it - CurationEd Broadening our definition of what’s possible in school… While not technically an example of pure curation, Chad Sansing nascent “Democratizing Composition” has very strong elements of curation. One aspect that rises to the top is that the blog’s sense or purpose acts a guide for seeking, filtering and sharing about how writing is...
Curating Our Digital Lives hangout-071812
See on Scoop.it - CurationEd Curation has been a heating up topic in marketing and journalism for the last couple of years. Social curation tools have begun to sprout legs and come ashore in droves. Teachers are now beginning to take up what it means in their personal, professional, and pedagogical lives. P2PU and the National Writing Project have been at this issue in their summer self-study...

See on Scoop.it - CurationEd This post gathers together a constellation of tools that you may not have considered as curation tools—RSS feeds, Google or LinkdIn groups, news aggregators like elearning learning, and livestreams for twitter/FB/et al. Here is the central point about why we need to curate: “As our world evolves, our role as educators needs to change to address this...
Curation techniques, types and tips
See on Scoop.it - CurationEd And this is the first place to come to after you have decided to do a cooperative curation site.

See on Scoop.it - Tech Pedagogy Adrienne LaFrance says in NiemanLab, “The younger you are, the more likely it is that you mainly use a phone to go online.” I guess if you work with learners then you would be unwise to ignore this Pew study about how 31% of adults use phones for most of their Internet access, 45% for ages 18-29. It’s convenient, cellphones are easier to use all...

See on Scoop.it - Tech Pedagogy When I consider the affordance of tech and tech pedagogy, this is what I am thinking about, Crooked Timber’s ramble through public data advocacy and its disappointments, through anecdotes about the uses of open data, and a suggestion that all that counts is not countable. And the commentariat below. Or consider the affordances in Robin Good’s...
