"Students buzzed about the latest uproar on Instagram. Anonymous sources had posted a “questionable”–and NSFW–list for multiple public schools in our city on Instagram, leading to distraught girls, viral Twitter reactions, and an investigation. This type of cyberbullying and reckless use of digital communication is rampant among teens, but this recent episode was only unusually due to its elevated publicity."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Do you believe that it is important to teach Digital Citizenship in school? Given all that happens online and how many of our students do not make appropriate decisions about what they are posting online, be it images or words, the need for this is evident. This post discusses "five reasons why schools should take a lead by promoting digital and social media literacies curriculum, and promoting digital citizenship inside and outside of the classroom." The reasons include: * The Gap is Growing - as in the gap between what students do at home and what they could do at school is vastly different (at least in many schools which do not allow mobile phones to be used). * Digital Footprints are Easy to Leave...and difficult to erase. How easy is it to find information on your students using Twitter, Instagram or any of the social media tools used by students? How often is that information such that they would prefer that collleges not see it? Three additional reasons are provided with discussion, all of which provide food for thought when working with students on this issue.

In this age of information how do we teach our students (or children) to be critical thinkers, to be able to look at the information available to them and filter out the good from the bad. This post explores ways to work with students in the curation process.
It looks at curating with friends (through social networks, curating resources, curating images, and curating links and content.

Beth Dichter's insight:
This video not only provides an explantion of flipping and how to begin this process it also provides great resources (if you click on the Show More button under the description). There you will find links to four "great content curators" (these sites have content across many subject areas) as well as links to educational content creators (more focused on a specific area) and a variety of websites that tend to post daily and you may want to subscribe to. The video also provides you with a "tutorial" of how to create a video if you want to flip your class. Thanks to Keith Hughes and HipHughesHistory to providing this wonderful resource!

Some ideas about flipping. There are various degrees of flipping and you can start small and flip quite successfully, with good results.

Does content curation also help develop future workskills? This post addresses this question. To do this effectively the Apollo Research Institute Future Workskills 2020 study was used to identify critical workforce skills. (The link to this research study is in the post and also may be found in this Scoop.it.) Many of the skills identified align with the skills of content curation. Ten skills are identified in this post and each skill may be found in content curation. The ten skills identified are: * Sensemaking * Computational Thinking * New Media Literacy * Transdisciplinarity * Cognitive Load Management * Social Intelligence * Novel and Adaptive Thinking * Design Mindset * Cross Cultural Competency * Virual Collaboration Each skill is defined and followed by a short discussion on how content curation is connected to the skill. If you missed the first article published, Understanding Content Curation, you will find a link to it in the article.
