Amazing team pearltrees. Content Curation with PearlTrees. Note: This post is also cross-posted over at the EasyBib blog. I’ve written and spoken before about the essential skill (a literacy according to Howard Rheingold) of students not only being able to collect content from their network(s), but to curate what’s collected. Just like a museum curator pours over artifacts to find the very best to display, we should also do the same not just for our own professional resources, but see it as an obligation to model it for our students.

I came across a new resource recently (I believe the hat tip goes to Alec Couros for this find) called Pearltrees. After you sign up for your account, you can start building your own Pearltrees. Pearltrees are made up of “pearls”, or sites you want to curate into particular the Pearltrees (topics) you’ve created. Give this 40 second video a watch from the PearlTrees site called “Why Pearltrees?” Once you’ve signed up for your account, you will already have your “root” Pearltree created for you with your username. 1.

Pearltrees Raises $6.7M For Its “Collaborative Interest Graph” Pearltrees, a company offering a novel interface for sharing and finding content, has raised 5 million euros ($6.7 million US) in new funding. The basic unit of the Pearltrees service is the pearl, which is basically a bookmark. Users can assemble these pearls into trees based around a topic. Meanwhile, Pearltrees is using that data to determine how different topics and bookmarks are related, and allows users to find new pearls (related to whatever topic they’re exploring) through its “related interests” button.

Following the lead from Google’s PageRank and Facebook’s EdgeRank, Pearltrees has named its technology TreeRank. Pearltrees launched in December 2009, and the company says it has been growing consistently at 15 percent per month, and that users have now created 15 million pearls which were assembled into 2 million trees. Previous investor Groupe Accueil led the new round. Content Curation for Teachers  Have you ever felt that there is simply too much interesting, educational content on the web? Fortunately, there are also some great, free products that help learners curate all of the many things they can read, watch, hear etc. on the web. The beauty of taking control of your content by saving and organizing links is that you can quickly find, revisit or share content with others.

By curating the web, one can essentially build up a library of data in the cloud for free. I know personally as a history teacher, I spend a lot of time surfing the web when I prepare lessons. In addition, through my own exploration of the web and thanks in large part due to services like Twitter, Google Plus, Stumble Upon, and YouTube, I come across things that I want to teach my students in the future. To begin to take control of digital content, one needs only to make a decision about which tool or tools to use. The content curation tools that I have found most useful are Pearltrees, Diigo and Evernote. 1. LeWeb11.

One indication of this transition is the proliferation of attempts to explain the changes that are occurring. Functional explanations emphasize the real time web, collaborative systems and location-based services. Technical explanations argue that the interconnectivity of data is the most significant current development. They consider the web’s new frontiers to be closely related to the semantic web or the “web of things”. Although these explanations are both pertinent and intriguing, none of them offers an analytical matrix for assessing the developments that are now underway.

Some ideas are too specific. The “real time web,” for example, is one of the clearest and most influential trends right now. In contrast, other explanations are far too broad to serve any useful purpose. How can the web’s development be understood? The founding principles 1- Allow anyone to access any type of document The third frontier. Patrice Lamothe (Pearltrees) im Interview: Content-Organisation made in France.

Die Organisation digitaler Inhalte dürfte heute wichtiger sein denn je und die Liste entsprechender Organisationsdienste ist nicht nur lang, sondern auch vielfältig. Eben jenem Thema der Content-Organisation hat sich auch Pearltrees verschrieben, ein französisches StartUp, das, obwohl es monatlich bis zu acht Millionen Pageviews vorweisen kann, in Deutschland bisher eher mäßig bekannt ist, aber den europäischen Durchbruch angehen will. Der Name deutet es bereits an: Bei Pearltrees geht es um Perlen, die mit Inhalten verknüpft in Baumstrukturen angeordnet werden und den Zugriff auf die eigenen Inhalte erleichtern sollen. Ganz im Stile von Anwendungen wie Prezi lassen sich mit Hilfe des französischen Dienstes Content-Pfade anlegen, die natürlich auch mit anderen Nutzern entsprechend geteilt und ergänzt werden können.
