When I think of curation I think of a museum curator choosing and organizing artwork. So I looked up digital curation; it is "the selection, preservation, maintenance, collection and archiving of digital assets". For this tech task I created an about.me page to organize my online presence.
I think curation is an important skill in today's online world. There are so many social media apps and sites, having one place that allows someone access and provides direction in their getting to know you and your online presence. We also need a way to organize all the news, professional, and recreational sites that we use in our day to day lives. There are so many it is often overwhelming. I generally like an organized bookmarking system, but also like the RSS feed and feedly has been super helpful for keeping track of all the class blogs. I would pass these sites on to my students. If we had a class blog, feedly would be a huge help. The about.me page would also be a great place for them to keep everything, and be able to access a twitter question or youtube math tutorial that a student made that they found useful. It would benefit them going forward after high school and into the working world as well.
