More and more educators are becoming enthusiastic and adept at curating resources for their course and own professional development. But what about our students? How can we encourage students to cultivate a positive digital presence (and be “Googled Well”), by allowing them to curate content for their courses? This session will not only discuss the “whys and hows”, but the “so what nows?” Once students collect relevant content, how do they make it meaningful for themselves and others? How does their curation contribute to peer learning and how is it reflective of their own? We’ll explore practical ways to get your students curating and using their curation to enrich your course and their learning.
