My Approach To Digital Content Curation. My Approach To Digital Content Curation by Steven Anderson, Presenter at tlipad.com.
I spend a great deal of time looking up stuff. Whether that stuff is blog posts to get a pulse on what is happening in the edusphere or researching new tools to share with teachers, I come across a wide variety of resources that I need to save, catalog and be able to come back to later. Curation is a large part of my day. Wait. Gathering ResourcesOrganizing ResourcesSharing Resources Gathering Resources – The Internet has allowed us to retrieve as much information on any topic as we wish, from pretty much any source we want.

Study: Students Learn Better When Lectures Come With Visual Aids - Teaching Now. CAM_1506DG. Deeper learning. Teachers are highly reflective people.
We have to be. We reflect on the lessons we taught, the words we chose, the words we forgot, the students that were engaged, the ones whose bodies were present but minds were somewhere else.

Gamification has been around for several years.
According to Merriam-Webster, the term's first known use was in 2010. But it's still being flagged by some spell-checkers as a typo. This may be fitting, because gamification was retired in the 2015 New Media Consortium (NMC) Horizon Report on emerging technology for K–12.

In a presentation Friday about the upcoming report, Johnson explained why the concept didn't make the cut in this year’s report. "We don't see it making the mainstream," he says. The NMC Horizon Report gathers input from experts across a wide range of industries, including educators, futurists, information technologists and the news media. Some of the fundamental concepts of gamifying learning may yet live on.
