This document discusses content curation and its importance for educators. It explains that knowledge is now shared through social networks rather than isolated experts, and curation involves filtering and sharing relevant information. Various online platforms and tools for curation are presented, and it is argued that educators should act as "digital archaeologists" by finding, selecting, arranging and sharing knowledge to continuously learn and provide value to their networks.

7. “Knowledge now lives not just in libraries and
museums and academic journals. It lives not
just in the skulls of individuals. Our skulls and
our institutions are simply not big enough to
contain knowledge. Knowledge is now a
property of the network, and the network
embraces businesses, governments, media,
museums, curated collections and minds in
communication.”
