Curation: Creatively Filtering Content We are living in an era of information overload. So much content is shared online that curation is needed as a way to get value out of the information flood. Content curation is the process of shifting through the vast abundance of content on the Internet to select the best, most relevant resource, on a specific topic or theme, so that we can organize, manage and collate the content for ourselves and share with others. Content curation is about working smarter and not harder. Why is curation important? Curation is a life skill and an important part of being digitally literate. While at the Edutech National Congress & Expo I curated the best resources shared from the Edutech conference into a Flipboard magazine.

Choose the perfect TED Talk for your students' needs-try it! | National Geographic Learning: In Focus Reading Time: 3 minutes According to the internet, video is processed 60,000 faster than text – an amazing, but seemingly unfounded claim repeated over and over online.

The science behind using online video in the classroom It’s well understood that short-term memory is limited and can only cope with a certain amount of information at one time, so anything that anyone is trying to learn has to enter the mind without overwhelming the short-term memory. One concept that arose out of Sweller’s work was that of matching modality in video input. An example from a course book A great example of matching modality is Elora Hardy’s TED Talk Magical houses, made of bamboo. Try this! Watch some TED Talks and find great examples of matching modality. Author: Lewis Lansford Like this:
