This week we covered a bit on the process of digital curation. Digital curation is the process in which and individual or organization actively seeks out sources of information and other digital resources across the internet. The aspect of this I want to focus on is that of how teachers can use this to help enhance their lessons.
The internet has a vast array of resources for teachers to draw their lessons and activities from. But because of the vast nature of the internet, these resources need to be properly vetted to ensure they are both accurate and effective in conveying what a teacher wants to convey throughout their lessons.
Because of this, teachers wanting to sift through these resources must be able to appraise them correctly, something noted in the process of digital curation. So by cross referencing them to sources that have proven value and/or effectiveness, one can use this to help kickstart this process.
