Hi folks,

Brenda Boyer, Della Curtis and I are finishing up our upcoming ALA book project on curation and there’s a missing piece we need your help with.

We’d like to know about how librarians (and classroom teachers) are teaching students to perform digital curation.  What tools are you using? How is student curation integrated into the content areas?  Are you integrating curation into the wider school curriculum? Are learners using digital curation tools in personal knowledge management/mastery or PKM?

Please share your responses with me (joycevalenza@gmail.com) or Brenda (boyer.brenda@gmail.com).  Better yet, contribute a  90-second or shorter video message on our Flipgrid.  Please identify yourself and your school in your recording.  Thanks!

(BTW, Flipgrid is our new favorite tool for reflection and conversation.)
