http://www.bethkanter.org/curate-listen/ Content curation is the organizing, filtering and “making sense of” information on the web and sharing the very best pieces of content that you’ve cherry picked with your network.

How To Curate Learning Paths and Engage Students: Curatr

Curatr is a curation platform geared to learning and educational settings. By adopting a rich, visual interface and a hide-and-reveal approach of information-objects it encourages users to explore learning following their own path, creating personal journeys and doing it at the pace that best suits them. Besides a pleasing visual interface for info-collections that resembles somewhat Pearltrees' own, the key characteristics of Curatr that one notices, is the fact that info-objects are apparently unlabelled and therefore meaningless unless one actively goes to explore them. That allows for the learner to gradually "expose" the parts of a curated collection that he/she has visited, painting a fuller picture as she progresses through it. http://curation.masternewmedia.org/p/766480604/how-to-curate-learning-paths-and-engage-students-curatr
