Curation of digital assets is a first step to discovering and organizing great content, making sense of the avalanche of information on the web and getting connected. In this workshop, a case will be made for curation as a first important step to content creation for teachers in pursuit of their own development or learners on their path to autonomous language development.

Curation is best when shared
• The curator looks for themes, patterns, meaningful
ways of arranging digital assets
• New sites such as Diigo and Deli.cious allow social
bookmarking, sharing and creating groups one can join
if interested in the topic or theme being curated

In a world of bandwidth and content abundance, we’re
overwhelmed with data, tweets, blogs, check in’s and
media. It used to be we surfed the web. Now the waves of
the web are just too big. Curation is the new magic that
makes the web work. Bringing the web back to
human scale with human filters you trust and
love. A powerful mix of passion and context turns noise
back into signal.”
