This document discusses various tools that can be used for curating and sharing information online, such as Scoop.it, Flipboard, Pinterest, Storify, and LiveBinders. It provides links to examples of how libraries are using tools like Pinterest, Storify, and Instagram to curate content and promote learning. The document emphasizes that curation helps organize knowledge for both personal use and to share with others, and suggests curation can help develop skills for citizens of the knowledge society.

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.

Curation to promote learning
26. 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)

Let me start my presenting the four or so theses I hope to prove.
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

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.
For what Pierre Levy calls, knowledge citizens.
4. Curation is a learning activity for digital citizens.
1. These are no longer adequate containers for student research
It’s okay to curate for yourself. It’s called personal knowledge management.
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?
What we need to curate.
Open educational resources too!
Are we moving from strict reliance on a cataloging system to a more embracing digital approach: digital collection curation?
The next step is curation.
Even more so with user-generated content.

Tools for curation.
Scoop.it’s browse page.
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.
Some student newspapers.
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.
Tildee, while not really a curation tool, allows you to put together step-by-step directions that may be embedded in curation.
Many of our colleague use the free tool, LiveBinders as a curation platform. It is also used as a student portfolio option.
Pearltrees as an option for collaborative curation based on an interactive tree metaphor.
