Content Curation Through the SAMR Lens

SAMR and content curation

With an abundance of information to sift through, content curation is an important survival skill for teachers and students today.

Content curation is a method of collecting and managing web content for sharing and reuse. With so much content to collect, and so many free tools for curating content, it’s easy to get lost when trying to take on this task. It’s also difficult to know where to begin.
There are a variety of helpful tools to choose from to make content curation fun and efficient. If you’re just starting out, it’s important to choose a flexible tool that will grow with you as you strive to use technology to “Teach Above the Line” and transform learning.
I was prompted to dig deeper into the notion of curating content through the SAMR lens by Julie A.C. Balen when she asked me to host a Google Hangout along with Michael Walker and Brendan Murphy for OOE 2013 in February. For the session, I curated my own content with  ThingLink to create the interactive image here. I used this interactive image to share tools and ideas for curating content during the hangout.
