- Consider the impact of the need to curate in an educational setting
Curation provides many opportunities for TL to identify credible and reliable resources teachers and students can use amongst all the information provided in its various formats and modalities. This repository of links to electronic resources could be provided through the school catalogue, reducing search time for students and teachers providing a central and reliable search option. I believe curation of resources is an effective and sensible task as emailing links, forwarding resources or dialogue about resources for teachers and students for them to then compile these resources seems ineffective as they could misplace, forget or not as effectively store/curate resources as what is possible within the library.
- What strategies can be taken in a school DLE to support curation for all learners?
Awareness of the importance of curation and its educational benefits throughout life. Skill developed of effective analysis and identification of reliable information sources could be a starting strategy to support curation for all learners (parents/students/teachers etc) and a shortlist of curation tools. The ability for NSW DEC teachers to access Google Apps is a step in the right direction, providing tools for curation, creation and preservation to teachers and students such as Google Docs, Blogger, Bookmarks and more.
