Content Curation

 Content curation and Resources for teachers


Hi everyone!!

I have been thinking...

...thinking about giving you useful resources to use as a teachers.

Today I want to write you about the next term: Content Curation. Do you know it?

As a teachers we have to remember so much daily information. In addition to this, we have to search on Internet so many resources so finally something may be forgotten. WE ARE HUMANS, NO ROBOTS.

So the term of Content Curation is as actual as Internet in our Education. So, we need some internet tools in order to keep all the meaningful and useful information we find. That is the idea of this post, providing you different tools to save digital classroom resources.

  • Pinterest(www.pinterest.es): It is the most known tool. Here we can find different resources to use in our classroom, from worksheet to digital lapbooks. As well as you can find resources and keep them there. (sign in required).

  • Symbaloo (www.symbaloo.com): Another webpage to find resources and enable us to organize them. An account is required.

I want to share with you an example, but I'm going to provide you the tool that I prefer the most. MY FAVOURITE ONE:

  • Pearltrees (www.pearltrees.com): In here you can pin a lot of resources as the previous ones but, in my opinion, I consider it the most intuitive, useful and clear. The interface is very simple but effective.

In all these websites we need to create a Resources board for the content you want to collect. In my case, I have found resources for Natural Sciences (5th graders) and the unit: Heat and Light.

  1. Victor thanks for your post, I've been checking that some colleagues chose pearltrees and I'm realising how useful is! 5th graders will definitely learn about heat and light - great resources! I just want you to know that I found red letters quite difficult to read. Maybe you can choose a darker colour to make it clearer 😄 .

Mindmap

Welcome back to a new blog post Today I bring you a very simple , visual and useful tool to show information to our students in a schematic way. It is called "Mindmap" and it has a series of characteristics and benefits that are very suitable for the classroom. Next, I mention the strongest points of this tool : 1. Show information in a clear and summarized way. 2. Visualize the most important aspects of a topic. 3 . Sequence ideas in an schematized way to clarify or solve problems. These are three advantages of using mindmaps, but there are so many!! It only depends on your imagination and creativity. Here you can see an example: In this case the topic is " Puberty ", from Natural Science subject. Looking at this mindmap students are able to find the main changes that women and men suffer during this vital and natural process called puberty. The web page that I have used has been the following one:  Bubbl.us      The web page used is one of many that we can...
