1.4.4_assignment_ Value of content curation

My insight on content curation

It has always been my passion to contribute something to someone out there who is looking for knowledge. This is the passion that drove me to eventually become a teacher. The fulfillment I experience when I see a learner who has passed through my own very hands making use of what s/he has learnt to bring a difference in the world; brings me great joy. I have gone to large extents to see to it that what I provide to my learners is quality, well researched work; proven and tested to prompt learning and inspire the learner into having an insatiable desire for my subject.

I have now come to know that content curation and bookmarking are here to help me fulfill my dreams of being the ideal teacher (according to me) who is satisfactorily contributing content to the world. I now have the chance not only to share information with my learners in the classroom but as I browse the internet and come across different content which is useful in designing my lesson, I can now go ahead and curate this content into several groups using tags, outlines, categories etc. I can make my comments on what I have collected and share this information with the world - if, of course, it can be shared.

The process of Content Curation


The world, as you may know it, is now much smaller with the advent of  technology. More and more people are taking advantage of internet technology and I am not an exception. I am more passionate than ever about consuming, creating and sharing content through every possible means available. Tools like Scoopit, diigo, delicious, learnist, educlipp etc. are helping me feed this passion. I am now able to systematically arrange what I come across on the internet into a large accessible library that many others and I can easily access even centuries long after we are gone. I must say that I am progressively realising my goal as a cctionline student.

MY REVIEW OF TWO LESSONS THAT INFUSE DIGITAL LITERACY 4.3.3

LESSON A Click here to view This is a Geography lesson entitled "Our Fractured Earth" . In the lesson, the learners work in groups and generally do their research and presentations on a media of their choice. The learners use mainly power point slides they prepare themselves as opposed to those prepared by the teacher. This clearly indicates how the lesson goes a long way in engaging learners to create meaningful content as they collaborate in their groups. This knowledge is later shared. Digital methodologies and pedagogies are seen in the teacher allowing learners to use any gadgets they are permitted by their parents to use. The learners also go ahead to solve real problems when one of the groups creates a Lego motion animation representing what it might be like to be in an earthquake. The objectives in the lessons are clearly stipulated and show that digital literacy is infused. For instance, one of the objectives says that the learners will explore, analyse and evalua...
