Editor's Notes
- As a teacher, you already bring a set of unique skills and talents into your classroom every day, things that no technology can replace.
- With a thoughtfully chosen set of tech tools, your powers can be boosted so you can better engage students and maximize learning.
- Specifically, the right tech tools can give you more rigor in your instruction, more customization in student learning, higher-quality connections with students, parents, and colleagues, and more time to do the things you are uniquely qualified to do.
- The first big difference thoughtfully chosen tech can make to your instruction is more rigor. In other words,

- Curation is the act of gathering, selecting, and organizing resources around a unifying theme, then sharing the collection with others.
- One of the most popular tools we use to curate resources is Pinterest. Tons of educators already use tools like Pinterest to curate their own resources, but we could also use a tool like Pinterest to assign curation projects to students...
- Having students curate resources in our content area requires them to make decisions, analyze, differentiate, and make value judgments about items they select. If students are also required to write about why they selected each item or identify key characteristics in the resource, the assignment gets even more rigorous. And the best part is, this kind of project doesn’t have to be very time-consuming.
- Now, is it possible for students to do the same thing without using technology? Absolutely. However, they would need to spend quite a lot of time on non-academic tasks, such as cutting, pasting, and shopping for supplies. With a digital curation tool, they can assemble their collection with a few clicks, make changes easily, and never have to print a single sheet of paper.
