Are all web tools to curate content of value.
For a teacher to classify their things,
Will save her time to provide quality teaching
Selecting, evaluating,
Creating and Annotating,
Organising. Storing, Archiving, Deleting
Each of these activities are steps in curating,
And will save teachers time to provide quality teaching.
Using analytical skills and conceptualisation
Curators winnow deplorable documentation.
Purifying systemised data retains reputability.
The source of curation will hold admirable integrity.
Are you a curator
or a creator?
of content useful to an educator?
What is the difference you may be interested to know?
A curator collects, creator bestows.
Benefits of curation
Include time optimisation,
Frugal resources and creative innovation
Equal communication between faculty and those learning
And of course will save time to provide quality teaching.
(Byot Network, 2017)
