Content Curation Tools

Hello Everyone!

Today I'm going to talk about content curation. I have to admit that, before we start working with this topic in class,  I didn’t know what content curation was. As I worked in this topic I discovered the content curation and how useful it is when selecting and organizing content, projects, activities to be done in the class or web pages. This is a way to access  the content you want in just one click without having to spend a lot of time looking for it again or thinking about how you did find it.

I've been looking at some content curation tools and I decided to use Pinterest because I have previously worked with it. As I just said, I already knew Pinterest but when I started working with it again I realized that I wasn't using it correctly since I only used it as a tool for looking for activities when I needed new ideas for the class. This is the reason why I decided to create a new account in order to organize all the resources regarding education that can be useful for my class.

In this new account that I created, I've organized different activities, crafts and resources on boards which I think could be good for working with my students. Also the advantage of these boards is that everything is well organized. The boards that I've created for now are: Music, Math, Social Science Models, Project Based  Learning and Literacy. I could say that this is my start on Pinterest but I plan to create more specific boards,  for more subjects and for different courses.

Here you have other content curation tools that I've discovered with this topic and which I found very interesting:

- Pearltrees 
- Symbaloo
- Listly
- Scoop.it

I hope you all liked it and you've learned as much as I did with this topic. See you in my next post!
