Content Curation

Curation, in this context, refers to the selection and organization of material with value added by an expert. It is annalogous to the activity of the traditional curator in an art gallery or museum. The curator selects items from a larger collection, organizing them into coherent groups, and presenting them to the visitors in a way that enhances their enjoyment and understanding.
I think this concept is of great importance in a world where both teachers and students are surrounded by technology. Sometimes, we want to include many interesting things in our lessons but are not able to select and differentiate among them. In those cases, the experience and knowledge of an expert will be a great guidance for our work and our willingness to include tech in the ESL lesson.
