Why a curated web?

Why a socially curated web in education / training?
In course design phase, finding/selecting resources is large part of work (should not be creation!)
During facilitation of course, direct students to resources, information streams and network
Idea: Live curating for teaching

Who’s doing it well (in edtech)?

@pgsimoes Paulo Simoes(@pgsimoes) Curates e-learning & ed tech news

Lee Watts: Learners need to find their way in and to information streams
Trend 6: Workplace learning is part and parcel of workplace culture. Does not happen in isolation
