2. What is curation?
Curation is the act of individuals with a passion for a
content area to find, contextualize, and organize
information. Curators provide a consistent update
regarding what’s interesting, happening, and cool in
their focus. Curators tend to have a unique and
consistent point of view–providing a reliable context
for the content that they discover and organize.

4. Before you get
started …….
Ask yourself “Why?”
o Is it just for you?
o Planning to share?
o Students and/or Teachers?
Decide on subjects
o What is my criteria for selection?
o How will I group them?
o What tags will help me “find”
them again?
