I'm a little late on the week three bandwagon, but we'll go ahead and blame my lack of entry on the worst cold ever.
We've been talking a whole lot about web tools recently in ICT, specifically curation tools for web-based projects, such as websites and blogs. These different tools are terrifically useful, both in and out of the classroom. We've been talking a whole lot in other classes about collaboration. We've done a lot of group work and many curation sites allow for a similar collaboration. Sites like Pinterest, Symbaloo, and Pearltrees allow people to share ideas, information, news, and practical advice with each other. I've used Pinterest before and, fine, I'll admit that I love it (delicious recipes? Hello!!!), but i am genuinely thrilled to have a secondary use for a website I'm already familiar with.
I'm excited to continue learning new tools and soon enough, I might be able to try some of these ideas out in a real-life classroom!
Happy Curating!
