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

There are 3 things you can curate
Individual objects or artefacts
Information streams
Information streams People streams / networks Copyright Alis Yeh: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alisyeh/4923890824/
PhD list An example: I curate a phd list
Converge11 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
Curation process Curation Lifecycle Model by Digital Curation Centre (dcc.ac.uk)
I propose a simpler model to get started…
Step 1: Set up your streams Set up streams
Step 2: Regularly access & review your streams Access Set up streams
iPad is magic for this
 
 
 
 
Step 3: Select what to curate This is all you… . Why? Who for? What value to me? What value to others ? Access Select Set up streams
Step 4: “Tag it and bag it” Collect Access Select Set up streams
Other part of Step 4: Share Access Select Collect Share Set up streams
Some new tools to use
