Discover the Power of Curation

Pages


Like I write in my previous post Content curation is the act of continually identifying, organizing, and sharing the best and most relevant content on a specific topic or issue online . I think curation tools are gateway through knowledge and semantic web 3.0 in XXI Century Education . For this reason I launch #edtech20 curation and semantic project global project where teachers worldwide can join free  to discover toghether step by step the way through semantic web 3.0 and to post in this blog and follow me. I am very happy today because  I have 50 000 visitators on my scoop.it topics .

Curation has always been an underrated form of creation and it is generally the selection of, care for and presentation of the objects entered into a collection, whether that collection is physical (such as items in a museum) , digital (such as entries in Wikipedia) . Today I use gr8 curation tools many in beta for curating social media ( tools, apps, articles , blog posts , tweets , videos , photos and much more ) like scoop.it , perltrees , postano , shareist , storify , chirpstory , curated.by and bagtheweb .
 My favorite are 4 scoop.it , pearltrees , postano , shareist, but every day appear new curation tools who prepair the aparition of Semantic Web who is driving the evolution of the current Web by enabling users to find, share, and combine information more easily . For example delicious tool is a kind of curation, but this new curation tools allows your readers to add comments and suggestion for evry post .
The emphasis of curation may vary among:
The selection process - such as the use of expertise or expert advice to decide what items or content should be added to a collection or archive.
The caretaking process - controlling the decay of historical object (such as census records) .
Presentation - determining how objects or records are displayed, including what metadata will be displayed along with them.
2011 is the begining of New Era of Curation and every day appear new awesome social media curation tools like write Mashable in the article 4 Promising Curation Tools That Help Make Sense of the web . When I read Mashable's article I allready used Pearltrees http://pearltrees.com/#/web20education and after I made #edtech20 team on pearltrees . When Tim Berners Lee originally conceived of the Internet, he envisioned three principal functions and I think that is curation
Allow anyone to access any type of document
Allow everyone to disseminate his or her own documents
Allow everyone to organize the entire collection of documents

Brian Solis write also in his website about curation and curators who play an important role in the evolution of new media, the reach of material information, and the social nicheworks that unite as a result. Curators promote interaction, collaboration, as well as education around the topics that are important to them. As such, services that empower curators will fill the void between creation and consumption. Forrester’s estimation of consumers of social content will erode from 70% to much lower numbers as many ease into social networking through curation – sharing with others the content that captivates their attention. The ease of doing so forever converts the static consumer into a productive curator or perhaps one day, a full fledged creator.
With creation and curation increasing the exchange of information commerce, we are moving new media toward the mainstream creating bridges between social and traditional media and the people who connect around related information. As such, what you discover and equally what you share creates an information economy rich with contextual and topical relevance linked through shared experiences.

I want to collaborate in #edtech20 project with teachers worldwide and to discuss about new tools and apps web 2.0 , social media , and semantic web 3.0 . We will discover toghether how to use many edtools , apps and widgets related to mlearning, wikis , blogs , microblogs , social networking , news readers and news agregators , animation , cloud words , online communities , on-line web conferencing , chats and webinars , bookmarking , sharing using videos , photos , interactive presentations , documents , podcast and audio . I am in the top scoop.it curators ( 30 000 visitors on my topics )and for this reason I made a scoopit curation topic and also a blog for my favorite topics

Today I present you BagtheWeb to Curate Web content to make your own topic bags. Publish and share your expertise. Bagging is teaching and learning.
BagTheWeb helps users curate Web content. For any topic, you can create a "bag" to collect, publish, and share any content from the Web. Beyond most curation tools' capability, BagTheWeb enables users to build networks of bags. Via bags, users can collect, publish, and share curated Web content in a simple and exciting way. Web content forms content networks, users form social networks, and content and social networks further connect.  This way bags can be linked together to provide rich and complete information about any topic. For this reason Bag the Web  an evolving Web.                                                                                  

For Teachers

Collect teaching materials. Create bags for students to study and assign homework.

For Students

Build bags to collect information for your courses, project, and homework.

For Researchers

Bag what your discover from search. Share knowledge and results with colleagues.

For Lifelong Learners

Keep your passion on interested topics by bagging. Develop personal knowledge base.
BagTheWeb is unique for  the following core feature :
  • Bag: A special webpage with an individual URL, it aggregates a group of relevant Web links.
  • Rich media: Video, images, tweets from selected sites can be automatically embeded into bags when users add their links.
  • Post: It is a blog post created inside a bag. It is listed at the right location in a bag for its content relevancy, instead of reverse chronological order with regular blogs.
  • Bag network: Users can link other relevant bags to the ones they create.
  • Bookmarklet: Users can click the bookmarklet to curate webpages when they surf the Web.
  • Embed tool: Bags can be embedded to users' website or blogs as reference.
  • Social functions: Users can follow other users and recommend bags for them to read.
  • Hashtag: Users add hashtags to bags in comments or recommendations and click on hashtags to find relevant bags.
  • Sharing: Users can share bags via Facebook and Twitter. They also can email them to friends.                                                         Here you can see my first bagtheweb :)

Dear teachers today I selected from may #edtools a curation beta tool ,, scrible does for research what gmail did for email.” and I want to present you  new scrible's changing how the world works online by transforming Web-based research but I hope will be free for education

About
Even though the world uses the Internet to research nearly everything for work, school and home (job postings, press releases, Wikipedia articles, medical info, etc.), most folks still use old-school ways of annotating, organizing and sharing online info (printing to mark by hand, copying/pasting into Word, etc.). It's archaic, laborious and a waste of time. We're changing that. We're bringing Web-based research into the Internet Era by empowering people to mark up web pages in the browser and manage and collaborate on them online. And that's just the start... We've got much more planned in a variety of areas to help people manage the mounds of info they're pulling off the Web everyday.
scrible: collaborate on research with power & ease
·         richly annotate web pages in multiple colors & styles
·         save web research online & access it from anywhere
·         use simple keywords to search full text of saved research
·         use tags to quickly and easily organize research by topic
·         easily share annotated web research with others via email
·         new create project-specific digital research libraries
·         new set permissions to selectively share libraries with others

research without scrible
Outdated methods of online research
·         printing & filing hard-copies of web research
·         manually annotating print-outs of web pages
·         copy-paste from web browser into documents
Online research poses many problems
·         proper sourcing of research avoided/forgotten
·         lost referenced pages result in broken links
·         copy-paste or archiving pages distorts layout
Your research info is trapped in silos
·         one person maintains stacks of printouts
·         another has a document of links & excerpts
·         critical findings can't be shared with others

Today I write about 

Schoox is a place where everyone can bookmark, create, share and socialize information in any format, from websites to online courses and use it efficiently to learn and even certify their knowledge. 

Everyday hundreds of millions of Internet users find, collect, manage and absorb information of any kind from different sources like web pages, videos, blogs, wikis, images, online books, documents and even online courses. Different kinds of information processing serve different needs or aspects of our lives. Just reading news, for example, serves our need to be informed about what happens around us. Whereas organizing, socialising and verifying information serves our intrinsic need to transform information to knowledge and understand better the world. Finally knowledge certification serves our need for social acknowledgement, a better job and a better life.

Schoox offers a pleasant way to discover and transform information to knowledge. It offers a social environment where anyone can discover, collect and review knowledge resources of any kind. Users who know what’s what can even create online courses and promote them. By using resources of different kinds (web pages, videos, blogs, wikis, online books, documents, online courses) users can knuckle down to any subject they want and even certify their knowledge. On schooX different kinds of resources are supported with special features according to their format. Online courses, for example, are supported by an internal Learning Management Module capable of maintaining the users learning process. SchooX is great and is for everyone! On schooX everyone can be a Discoverer, Collector, Reviewer, Learner or Instructor. 
If you know other curation edtools and if you like schoox please live add a comment .
