Top 10 Reasons to Teach Curation Skills(click for the Google doc)
1. Curation is the antidote for hoarding data.
2. To curate means to consider your audience.
3. To curate is to give a context and meaning to data: to construct knowledge
4. To curate well is the focus on the salient amidst the clatter of ubiquitous data.
5. To curate means to exercise higher order cognitive skills - analysis, evaluation, reflection.
6. Curation gives students an editorial voice.
7. Curators are valuable filters for their circle of learners.
8. To curate is to bring value to a circle of learners.
9. To curate is to contribute to the ‘global brain’. (Robin Good)
