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. Once you’ve signed up for your account, you will already have your “root” Pearltree created for you with your username. You will also see there that I have created a Pearltree called Digital Citizenship.
Waking up early, 10 tips that work Getting up early can be a great way to help you establish a daily routine which is the first step to becoming more productive. Here I present you 10 tips that helped me in becoming an early riser. The most important step is to get up. Actually not just get up, literally try to jump out of bed. After your alarm rings get up instantly, go to another room and turn on the lights. Getting out of bed quickly rips you out of the cozy zone and you're less likely to fall asleep again. You know, the one that always tells you: "Just 10 more minutes of sleep won't hurt right? Just don't listen to it. This was also a big game changer for me. It took me a month of living with withdrawal symptoms and headaches to get over the addiction. You won't take my word for it? Having a clear goal for getting up early is essential. If you can get yourself even a little bit excited about the things that you will accomplish the next day, waking up early won't be a problem at all. Now let's play a simple game.

Users of the product can also engage in social/collaborative curation using a feature called Pearltrees Teams.

Users can also embed a collection into most CMS products including WordPress blogs, Drupal websites, Typepad blogs and others. Development of Pearltrees began in 2007. In December 2010, Pearltrees made their initial foray into collaborative curation with the launch of a new "team" feature.
Support 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. 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.

Pearltrees Pearltrees est un service web de curation qui permet d'organiser, d'explorer et de partager des contenus numériques. Son concept repose sur l'idée que la multiplication des contenus (pages web, images, vidéos, fichiers ou notes personnelles, etc.) rend nécessaire une organisation humaine du web. Le réseau d'utilisateurs de Pearltrees s'étend aujourd'hui à de nombreux pays : l'application a été remarquée en France[1], dans la Silicon Valley et est maintenant utilisée dans plus de 150 pays. Au-delà de sa version d’origine, Pearltrees propose une version éducation pour les établissements scolaires et une version entreprise pour toutes les autres organisations. Pearltrees a été lancé en 2009 par Patrice Lamothe, aujourd'hui président-directeur général de la société, Alain Cohen, directeur de la technologie, Nicolas Cynober, directeur technique, Samuel Tissier, responsable de l'ergonomie et des interfaces, et François Rocaboy, directeur marketing.

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. The content curation tools that I have found most useful are Pearltrees, Diigo and Evernote. 1. Personal Use: The first tool that I fell in love with was Pearltrees because it allows you to lay out all web content into trees. 2. Personal Use: Diigo has a more complicated interface than Pearltrees but has some additional, spectacular features. 3. Nate Green Educator
