Guardar, encontrar y compartir enlaces con Pearltrees Hace años, cuando encontrabas una página web interesante, la única manera de guardarla era a través de los favoritos del navegador web de turno. El problema era que sólo podías acceder a ese enlace desde ese navegador en ese ordenador. Hoy en día, es inevitable que surfees por Internet con dos o más dispositivos, como un ordenador, un teléfono móvil y una tableta. Básicamente Pearltrees es un gestor de enlaces favoritos. Empezar con Pearltrees Para utilizar Pearltrees, y compartir enlaces y acceder a ellos desde Windows, Mac, Linux o iOS, necesitarás crear una cuenta de usuario. Una vez dado de alta, Pearltrees te explicará qué es y cómo funciona, aunque la mejor manera de conocerlo es empezar a usarlo. Añadir enlaces La pantalla principal de Pearltrees imita el diseño de un Escritorio, con acceso directo a tus enlaces (“my pearltrees“), añadir enlaces, llamados aquí perlas (“add pearls“), descubrir enlaces de otros usuarios (“discover“), etc. Encontrar enlaces nuevos Compartir enlaces
A framework for content curation | E-Learning Provocateur In conversation at EduTECH earlier this month, Harold Jarche evoked George E. P. Box’s quote that “all models are wrong, but some are useful”. Of course, the purpose of a model is to simplify a complex system so that something purposeful can be done within it. By definition, then, the model can only ever be an approximation of reality; by human error, furthermore, it won’t be as approximate as it could be. Nevertheless, if we accept the inherent variability in (and fallibility of) the model, we can achieve a much better outcome by using it than by not. It is with this in mind that I have started thinking about a model – or perhaps more accurately, a framework – for content curation. I have grown weary of hotchpotch lists of resources that we L&D pro’s tend to cobble together. Surely we can put more design into our curation efforts so that the fruits of our labour are more efficient, meaningful, and effective…? So I propose the following dimensions of a new-and-improved framework… Attract me
| Techmamas - Curating the Best of Tech and Social Media for Families Many people search the web, read content every day and share that content. While advances in search technology has made finding information easier and easier, saving and organizing information in a way that captures a story or conversation can still be very challenging. I just posted on Techmamas.com about my first experience with Pearltrees.com; I was on a Traveling Geeks trip to LeWeb and Pearltrees was one of the French companies we met. Being a visual person, the Pearltrees online application offered me the tools to capture and organize online information in a visual format that also reflected the storyline behind the issue being discussed. I decided that my next step was to use it and see what happens. I easily created Pearltrees for conversations, issues and topic areas I am researching. Months later, when I took on a project as adviser to Pearltrees, I had the opportunity to learn even more about the site and share the information I learned. A Pearltree is made up of Pearls. 1.
Content Curation & Fair Use: 5 Rules to being an Ethical Content Curator * Update: I have a much lengthier updated post that incorporates the material below: Content Curation: Copyright, Ethics, & Fair Use Recently, Kimberley Isbell of the Nieman Journalism Lab cited a Harvard Law report and published an extensive post on news aggregation and legal considerations. From a curation perspective, the whole article is interesting, but what was the most surprising was that her recommendations for being an ethical content aggregator, were the same as being an effective content curator. The five recommendations are below. You can read the full article for the legal justifications for abiding by these practices. 1. Marketing reason: The more you link to third parties, the more likely they are to link back to you – which ultimately improves your SEO. 2. Marketing reason: A good content curator is selective an only links to the most relevant content on a specific topic or issue. 3. 4. 5. *Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer.
6 reasons to use Pearltrees Pearltrees is the first and largest social curation community on the Internet. It’s a place to organize, discover and share all the cool content you find online. However, beyond this basic definition, a question remains: why would I want to use Pearltrees? Well, what I want to share with you are six major use cases (or reasons) we’ve identified as being most popular across our entire community of web curators. In addition, I’ll also share with you a couple of interesting ways in which I have put Pearltrees to use for myself. Hopefully, you’ll not only get value in learning how the community uses Pearltrees, but also be inspired to find even more clever and creative ways to use our software yourself. 3. The problem is that aside from searching your personal twitter stream to get back to the cool stuff you tweeted there’s no great way to keep those links at hand. Note: For advanced users you can even hashtag the links you tweet with #PT and the name of a pearltree in your account (e.g.
Curation in Learning I’m getting very excited about the possibilities of using more digital curation in learning. The trouble with curation is that I’m seeing it everywhere. As such I wanted to come up with a short framework that I could use to talk about how I see curation in learning being used, both at the organisation level and for individuals. So, go easy on me; here’s what I’m proposing… We can think of digital curation as being useful to us in four broad roles that I’m calling Inspiration, Aggregation, Integration and Application. Inspiration With the proliferation of content on the Web, it should come as no surprise that we are in increasing need of systems to sort, maintain and re-purpose content in a systematic manner. Organizations can of course benefit from this approach. Aggregation Increasingly we are being challenged to deliver ‘more with less’ in the learning department. Taking this further, some organizations are beginning to advocate a ‘resources not courses’ strategy. Integration Application
A Pearltree of Free Technology for Teachers A few months ago I wrote Playing With Pearltrees - A Great Way to Organize the Web. Last night I was exploring Pearltrees again when I came across a Pearltree titled Free Technology for Teachers. While the name is the same as my blog, I did not have anything to do with creating that particular Pearltree.
5 content curation examples so good they'll make you jealous - Scoop.it Blog You know how “a picture is both a thousand words”, right? Well, sometimes just showing an example is the best way to illustrate an idea. In that spirit, it seemed about time for a round up of some great examples of content curation. These are companies and publications that don’t just aggregate content – they add their own commentary and spin to what they curate. In other words, these sources curate their content like museum curators. They are discerning collectors. These are definitely not the only great examples of content curation examples, but they are at least some of them. 1. If any curator meets the criteria of ‘discerning collector’, it has to be Maria Popova. Many people consider Popova a master curator – someone who practices the art better than anyone. Want just one key lesson from Brain Pickings? It’s this: The quality is first-rate. Anything you share or publish should be worth reading. 2. This is an entire curated site focused on science and tech news. They also offer polls.
