New Teachers Should Become Content Curators

Curtis Bonk, professor emeritus at Indiana University, shares in this interview I did with him two years ago, what he thinks are the new skills required to teachers of the 21st century to leverage the power of the Internet for learning. And curation is among them.

Many thanks for sharing this, Robin! I couldn´t agree more with the prediction that 21st century education will definitely need "super e-coaches" with 3 characteristics (1) domain expertise, (2) a deep understanding of the Internet for learning and teaching purposes and (3) counselling skills. If we, as teachers, are able to perform this task, this, in turn, can also serve as a model for our students so they can develop themselves the necessary skills to integrate and make sense of the vast information available. Skills that they will certainly need for their future.

Intelligent Visual Bookmarking: Collect - Organize - Access - Retain with Mind iT

Intelligent Visual Bookmarking: Collect - Organize - Access - Retain with Mind iT | BI Revolution | Scoop.it

Mind IT is a free online graphical bookmark manager, uses mind map techniques for rapid bookmark management and access.

 

Get started in 3 easy steps:

1. Create a user account here
2. Install the browser add-on (big orange button to your right)
3. Create your first linkmap here (to learn more about linkmaps, see below)

To view your list of linkmaps, press on the "My Maps" button on the MindiT menu.

...

"MindiT is a free online graphical bookmark manager. ...specifically designed MindiT to promote rapid collection, management, and access to online information."

 

To learn more, check out the short video tutorial

 

The common trait to all the tasks above: they all require massive online research.

This is where MindiT comes in.

Collect - Organize - Access - Retain

MindiT is built on the premise that a clean, concise, colorful graphical representation of bookmarks is much more intuitive and useful than the standard list or tree based solutions commonly available.
