24. The first time I walked into the main gallery at the Barnes, I got chills.
To this day, every time I go, I’m reminded how powerful and important
this place is. It’s not just a bunch of paintings on a wall -- rather, the
entire collection is itself a work of art.

41. Are we building knowledge citizens?
Everybody is becoming a specialist in library science.
You do it for yourself to organize your memory but at the same time you
organize the memory for others.
Every time that you that create a link, every time that you put a tag, you
are organizing the common memory.
You exercise the role of the keeper of a library. So this is a very new thing
and I think that the question of categorization is very important. You do
it in a conscious way.
HR: So it sounds like you are talking about something for which we don’t
have a word yet, that’s kind of like a knowledge citizen.
PL: That’s it, yes. A citizen of the knowledge society.

44. maximize the new OER resources
develop digital literacies
not on the test
Curation to promote learning
determine relevance
detect crap
find a niche/take a lead
search without Google/it’s not about the answer
take responsibility for learning
even a kid can be a trusted guide
45. If we can teach our students to
curate, rather than merely
collect, information, they
become better evaluators of
resources – and better
researchers and writers.

46. “My goal was to come
up with a framework to
define curating in the
educational sense, in
order to answer the
question of what is the
value-added of
curating, vs. collecting
information.”

76. The difference between PKM and Curation is that the former is personal, while the latter is for an intended audience. I practice PKM for
myself and my blog’s primary audience is me. Sharing online makes it social so that I can learn with and from others. Sense-making (as
described by Ross Dawson) is the most important aspect in both cases:
Filtering (separating signal from noise, based on some criteria)
Validation (ensuring that information is reliable, current or supported by research)
Synthesis (describing patterns, trends or flows in large amounts of information)
Presentation (making information understandable through visualization or logical presentation)
Customization (describing information in context)

77. How will you use the Seek-Sense-Share
model to support your personal learning
agenda?
The Seek/Sense/Share Framework 10 Feb. 2014
The Seek, Sense, Share Framework
Capturing knowledge, as crudely as we
do, is just a first step. Personal Knowledge
Management (PKM) is a framework for
individuals to take control of their
professional development through a
continuous process of seeking, sensing-making,
and sharing.
Seeking is finding things out and keeping
up to date. Building a network of
colleagues is helpful in this regard. It not
only allows us to “pull” information, but
also have it “pushed” to us by trusted
sources. Good curators are valued
members of knowledge networks.
Sensing is how we personalize
information and use it. Sensing includes
reflection and putting into practice what we
have learned. Often it requires
experimentation, as we learn best by
doing.
Sharing includes exchanging resources,
ideas, and experiences with our networks
as well as collaborating with our
colleagues.
188. Curation, Curation Curation!
Curation, Curation. Curation!
Who day and night must aggregate
the content, pull together knowledge,
harness all the feeds
And who must make sense of media,
tags, and text, keeping learners up to
date at school
Librarian, Librarian
Curation!
Librarian, Librarian,
Curation
Who do we rely on for creative stuff
What’s best so we avoid the fluff?
Who must point the way to stuff
that’s good enough
So we don’t miss the stuff that’s
really buff!
The Network, the Network. Curation
The Network, the Network, Curation
At ten my three-ring notebook really held
all my school stuff.
I know by now that binder can’t contain my
research
The student, the student. Curation
The student, the student. Curation.
And who does TL teach to curate with new
tools
So we can gather knowledge both in and
out of school?
The learner, the learner! Curation!
The learner, the learner! Curation!
189. Curator, curator, build me a mash
Gather the feeds, so I can cache
Media, blog posts, and tweets that make
sense
And mix me a perfect mash
Curator, curator, so much to read
Google exhausts me with more than I
need
I’m seeking relevance, so I must plead
Let human touch intercede
For teacher let it be scholarly
Me, well, I want the feeds
To keep me current with fashion
Or causes for which I can take the lead
Curator, curator, give me new tools
So I can learn, curating rules
Livebinders, storify, scoop.it and sqworl
So many new research jewels
Please, please make it dynamic,
I don’t need the same old rehash
I rely on your knowledge and passion
To open the newsfeed sash!
Curator, curator, demonstrate mash
Use networking skills, to help us in school,
Through you we discover the big picture view
To manage new info search tools.
Let me start my presenting the four or so theses I hope to prove.
A musical introduction.
Libraries have changed and we now have multiple brands.
How many entry points do you have for your collection?
Are we moving from strict reliance on a cataloging system to a more embracing digital approach: digital collection curation?
A musical introduction.
This stanza addresses the role of the librarian: Who day and night must aggregate the content, pull together knowledge, harness all the feeds
And who must make sense of media, tags, and text, keeping learners up to date at school
Librarian, Librarian
Curation!
Librarian, Librarian,
Curation
The next step is curation.
Let’s examine a potential taxonomy.
Albert Barnes is my model of the curator. Can we create meaningful wall ensembles for learners? Can we help them learn to construct their own?
Even more so with user-generated content.
What we need to curate.
Open educational resources too!
Types of thinking that might happen when a curator curates.
2. Curation is the new search
I include the browse pages of curation tools on my search page.
The next slides are examples of a search on autism across some of the curation sites.
Scoop.it’s browse page.
For what Pierre Levy calls, knowledge citizens.
At ten my three-ring notebook really held all my school stuff.
I know by now that binder can’t contain my research
The student, the student. Curation
The student, the student. Curation.
And who does TL teach to curate with new tools
So we can gather knowledge both in and out of school?
The learner, the learner! Curation!
The learner, the learner! Curation!

4. Curation is a learning activity for digital citizens.
Helen Barrett is a global expert in portfolio building, an aspect of curation that is even more possible than ever before.
BeeClip is a scrapbook-making tool design for education and free to set up one class.
Some student newspapers.

People are using these as current awareness tools to disseminate life and death information. I met a gentleman at my friend’s funeral who shared this story.
3. Curation can be a life and death activity.
Mendeley is a space for curated and shared scholarship.
Curation can help you scale your practice. Especially important if you are working with more than one library.
Students contribute their own video to the learning culture.
Some of my students helped build our YA Literature Guide.
It’s okay to curate for yourself. It’s called personal knowledge management.
Tools for curation.
Some are slow, like making pathfinders.
Some are faster, relying on current news, current awareness.
Most of these tools offer a bookmarklet for curating on the fly--when you are browsing and making discoveries—not in the program.

Next slides show scoop.it as a tool.
The next examples are from paper.li. It allows you to set up an automatic newspaper.
Paper.li can cover popluar interests. Students can create these for their own passions.
Under the hood in Paper.li. Setting up the right ten streams can be an information literacy activity. What is a good single twitter user? It can be a publication or an organization? Do you want to eliminate: me and the people I follow? Which feeds? Which #hashtags?
ASCD shares about curriculum? Do you national organizations share too?
Shelly Terrell also shares here.
Eric Sheninger shares resources for principals and administrators.
I am newly in love with rebelmouse.com as my own homepage. It’s what I curate for myself.
Let’s move to the more static, pathfinder-like options.
Okay, I am also in love with MentorMob and I use it for my high school and my graduate students to create multimedia learning playlists. The basic version is free and these can be collaborative.
You can invite others to help.
Learnist uses open educational resources to create Learnist boards around topics.
For tools and apps (choose from reviewed, selected items)
Tildee, while not really a curation tool, allows you to put together step-by-step directions that may be embedded in curation.
I did a Livebinder of some of the options. My most favorite is the commercial product—LibGuides. It is designed for librarians and it does everything I want a curating tool to do.
Many of our colleague use the free tool, LiveBinders as a curation platform. It is also used as a student portfolio option.
The Webinar group, Classroom 2.0 archives its resources in a LiveBinder.
The tool works on a notebook metaphor. This is Maryland librarian Joquetta Johnson’s shelf.
Here’s an example on curation.
Only2Clicks (http://only2clicks.com) allows you to easily create thumbnails pathfinders or web tours with annotations (when you hover). You can gather together a number of pathfinders in categories under a system of tabs. Great for beginners.
My menu of Only2Clicks options.
Sqworl is another free, very easy thumbnail option.
Anotations show beneath the thumbnails.
Gwyneth Jones’ Animation Sites and Education Resources.
Pearltrees as an option for collaborative curation based on an interactive tree metaphor.
Theemeefy creates flip books.
An obvious curation choice may be Google Sites.
Library users want their stuff to be portable!
Kids deserve access to more than their favorite games.
Are these any issues around curation?
Issues with sharing artists’ work without permission or attribution. Violation of copyright?
Is there a filter bubble within your own curation network?
