Developing Digital Literacy Through Content Curation

Developing Digital Literacy Through Content Curation | BI Revolution | Scoop.it
With the amount of content that is shared on the Internet every minute, it’s no surprise that many people feel overwhelmed by the quantity of information out there. This is why content curation is becoming an essential digital literacy skill for teachers and students.

Content curation is a great way to learn "the game"" of digital marketing. Filtering the world provides more reach, creates community faster and costs less than;...well any tactic we know.

Content curation is certainly an important digital literacy skill, very useful for citizenship as a whole. An awesome tool to increase the current level of critical thinking.

Even GREAT Content Creators Should Curate More

Even GREAT Content Creators Should Curate More | BI Revolution | Scoop.it

There is a creation myth that we often hear when it comes to content marketing. It tells us that in order to provide value with the content we produce, we need to create answers to questions. We need to create continually updated events, articles, videos, or images. Create, create, create. But creation is hard.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Creation Is Hard
I love that line from this great Scoop by Massimo Facchinetti. This post is a great companion to my ScentTrail Social Mentions Study (just posted to Curation Revolution http://sco.lt/6UD0W9).

I shocked my friend @1918's SEO Meetup recently by suggesting the best ratio of content curation to creation is 90% curation to 10% creation. There was an audible gasp in the room.

I explained that curation has greater reach. For every minute of creation you get 3x as much out of using that same minute to curate. I create a lot of content, but, as my companion post proves, even I don't generate as much content as the daily mentions @ScentTrail receives.

 

Content gets shared. Here's the rub and the BIG reason my ratio is set to 90% curation - your are statically more likely to get shares with curated content. Since shares are a content marketing CSF (Critical Success Factor) and what we are playing for curation wins.

Why? I used to work for direct marketing catalogers (when I was a Director of Ecommerce). They taught me to always double down on winners and let losers go. Curation allows you to select content THAT IS ALREADY WINNING.

When I write something I'm betting it will be shared. When I see a great post by Brian Yanish (@MarketingHits), Robin Good (@RobinGood) or Michele Smorgon (@Maxoz) I know their extensive networks of supporters means high shares are likely. With a tool like Scoop.it I can also see the shares.

The irony is I hardly EVER look at existing shares to decide what content to share. I think in terms of WHO first. I have a group of about 50 friends I trust and I have a group of about 5 topics that are near and dear to me. When a friend shares something cool in one of my 5 interest areas I share it.

I agree with this post. Even if you can't CREATE you can CURATE. Even if you CAN create you SHOULD CURATE :). M

Content Curation is a term that describes the act of finding, grouping, organizing, or sharing the best and most relevant content on a specific issue.

7 Ideas That Matter from Scoop.it

7 Ideas That Matter from Scoop.it | BI Revolution | Scoop.it

Not sure if Scooping @Scoopit content endangers the Space / Time continuum or not, but this is a great summary page of several highly influential articles (several of which I've already Scooped). 

Scoop.it is eating their own dog food here by curating, re-contextualizing and making it easy to find the second act for already existing content - STEAL THAT.
