Workshop - Curation Activity

The ACT Model consists of five active layers, where each layer is a pedagogy that can be applied in the classroom. In this section we will consider the first layer of the ACT model - the Curation pedagogy.

One of the easiest to use, yet extremely powerful digital pedagogies at our disposal in our modern world, is curation. Curation is the process of finding, grouping and organising content into a meaningful and useful form. 

In this activity we will try out some curation for ourselves, because after all, it's when we do that we learn.

Activities
It's your turn to curate items together. We will be using List.ly - Remember when you curate to also Amplify!

1. List.ly is a great tool for curating links together. I, and others, are building a list of tech tools for teachers - Go to http://list.ly/list/lAi-technology-for-teachers.​
2. Check out the links, and Like them up or down if you think they are good tools, comment on them
3. Add your own links

Listly is just one of many amazing tools that you can use in your classroom to empower your students to use curation as part of their learning.
