#Scoopitchat on Curation and Education featuring Seth Dixon
For this week's #scoopitchat, we had special guest Seth Dixon, and AP Human Geography teacher. During the chat, we discovered many tips and tricks for using curation in the classroom, as well as finding out how technology and curation can complement the learning process in many ways.
Hi #scoopitchat glad to talk about my experiences using curation as a part of my educational approach.
A1: Students can share information for an audience broader than just their classmates and teacher. #edchat #scoopitchat- Social media and digital curation go hand-in-hand. Curation is about letting students use internet skills for educational goals #scoopitchat
- A1: Curation converts students from simply being receivers of information into active producers of knowledge. #scoopitchat
- You can’t separate digital curation from social media platforms without removing its power so I involve class in both. #scoopitchat
Not just internet skills, but also the willingness to research and validate info, and common sense #scoopitchat- In a way, it has always been the core of an intelligence agency, curation and transforming information into intelligence #scoopitchat
@APHumanGeog curation requires decision making at some level. Beginners save everything, soon CT & crit analysis is required. #scoopitchat- Big picture, the goal of education and curation are the same: share the best and most relevant info #scoopitchat
- @knolinfos Curation gets them to jump into a global conversation...that's education. #scoopitchat
- @iamrinaldi @allygreer Curation isn't just reading, it's critically evaluating...higher up on Bloom's Taxonomy. #scoopitchat
- Shy students in the classroom can spread their wings online. You’ll be shocked who flies. #scoopitchat #edtech
- So, Q2: What are some specific examples of using curation in the classroom? How do you make it work? #scoopitchat
- A2: Finding & scooping a good resource is not enough; must add commentary/critique to make curation intellectually empowering. #scoopitchat
- Can #curation help in both ends of educating? ex. Teachers creating "magazines" to use as a resource OR students as a project? #scoopitchat
- Of course! Curation has no value without doing something with the dataRT @allygreer: Can #curation helps boths ends educating? #scoopitchat
- @allygreer Teachers need to be model students. I curate and synthesize because I want them to curate and synthesize #scoopitchat
- @gdecugis @MarketingHits Teachers (and curators) that stop learning and trying new things need to retire. #scoopitchat
- @knolinfos I love when students who've already graduated are suggesting posts for my page #scoopitchat
