“What does achievement look like?” The question lingers as does the pedagogical implications of how to create it in my classroom and because of the weight of this question constantly pressuring my consciousness, the need to excel as an educator continuous bubbles forcing me to reflect further on my part in that process.

Karyn Campbell wrote this piece for Sparksheet - Great Observations and so true!
Intro:
"Before news aggregators, content curators, and Google’s omnipotent algorithm, the world’s information was sorted by real human beings."
Here's what caught my attention:
It comes down to trust
The web has offered us incredible options for how we buy products, talk to our friends, or experience media. Remember that adage “quality over quantity”? We can take that phrase literally online – quantity won’t go away; quality will just sit atop.
Sometimes we want someone to tell us, consistently, what’s true and what’s good. No wonder YouTube just relaunched its music page, enlisting writers for Vice, Spin and other major vloggers to curate its featured content.
**As Steve Jobs more radically put it, “It’s not the consumers’ job to know what they want.”
It comes down to trust. Because we are all so well trained in the art of branding, arguably at the expense of crafting things worthy of distribution,
**it becomes hard to trust the advice of a Wild West web.
Still, we’ll continue to take the word of our favourite industry insider, celebrity or uncle.
**Likewise, the smartest companies in this space will calibrate expertise with automation, math with emotion.
**Whether she’s a kid writing code or a poet in-the-making, look for the next generation Steve Jobs to carry on building, hiring, and perfecting these filters.
Absolutely!

There is no shortage of material that needs to be read in business including marketing copy, business plans, contracts legal documents and of course business books. I love to read but not all business reading is particularly entertaining or well written. And some of the most important stuff is dense, dry and dreadful no matter how much achieving success requires you read it.
So when my inbox is full of necessary reading that I know will put me to sleep, I have to make a special effort to power through it. First, I set aside time with no distractions. No phone, email or TV to draw my focus. Then I find a place with lots of natural light. Lastly I turn on mellow music that I know well so I can get into rhythmic groove. Before you know it the stack is gone and I feel better for having been productive.
Here are more ways to tackle that tough material from my Inc. colleagues.

El sociólogo dice que las instituciones no representan los intereses de los ciudadanos
"Politicians would suppress Internet if they could, but it's already very late"
En este artículo del diario "La voz de Galícia" Manuel Castells, líder en el estudio de la revolución digital y las revoluciones sociales, económicas y políticas, denuncia el distanciamiento entre los políticos y sus ciudadanos. Critica especialmente el hecho que los canales de participación que son propios de las sociedades democráticas, para que sus ciudadanos puedan expresarse libremente, en la mayoría de sociedades están actualmente cortados, como en el caso de España.

If you are looking for inspiration when it comes to content curation, here is a great example at work.
Elearning Examples is a curated collection of "examples" from the real world of online communications in the areas of "multimedia journalism", "infographics" and "html5" among others.
For each one of these categories the author has written and edited a specific information card containing relevant information, images and links to the work being referenced.
The design of the site and the quality of the work "examples" being showcased make this a good example of what good "content curation" is.
Clearly, the work produced by this site, produces no noise or regurgitation of information, but rather offers a better way to make sense and discover the communication areas being curated on the site.
Thanks to David Anderson, an e-learning designer & community manager at Articulate for having created this excellent curated set of galleries.
Inspiring. 9/10

This piece was brilliantly written by my fellow curator, Robin Good.
Sorry my commentary is so long but this was so thought provoking, I just couldn't help myself:-)
The headline draws you in and the material more than delivers on that promise. What makes a great curator is clearly demonstrated in this piece. Bravo Robin!
I'm not going to repost what Robin has said but add my own comments, just as if I were in a conversation with him.
In Robin's own words - A great curator does the following:
"Optimizes, Edits, Formats, Selects, Excerpts, Writes, Classifies, Links, Personalizes, Vets, Credits, Filters, Taps, Suggests, Searches, Scouts, Hacks Filters and Searches, Is Transparent, Recommends, Crowdsources"
As you read this article, pay attention to how he has done all the above. He creates a standard, he gives you some criteria so you can understand what makes someone great and what makes someone no so great.
****He is responding to an article he read in Forbes about curation which talks about the importance of keywords. Robin stresses the importance of "human curation" adding your personal touch and bringing added value to what you're curating and not trying to fit what you're saying into keywords that will draw traffic from the search engines.
These are my comments..........
**** Curation is new and is evolving. Water rises to its own level. The people who know why they're curating, who their audience is, how they consume information and what they need, and then act on this, will become great trusted sources.
Some people just want information. Others want to engage by adding comments or another layer of context. There's a rhythm to this and it takes time to find the right balance.
I think a great curator is a good listener and a keen observer who selects content that "speaks to the audience's listening". Paying attention to this and fine tuning your approach takes a lot of work but it's worth it. I'm inserting a direct quote from Robin:
"One point: I believe that curators, as I see them, should rarely if ever be driven by analytics data or statistics but to their personal experience and viewpoint. Their goal is not in fact to go after the broadest and most numerous audience but have the humbleness and vision to serve a very specific need and tribe."
If you're passionate and knowledgable about the topic you're curating, and you are committed to serving your readers, you will be great.
In business you have to have a unique sales proposition. Adding context to what you curate will set you apart from others and make you great. This is your place to contribute something new, perhaps you disagree with what was said and you bring a new perspective. Anything you can do to expand the piece and add dimension to it is valuable to others.
Robin produced this video in 2009 with Gerd Leonhard, a highly respected media futurist. It is excellent. The title speaks for itself: "The Relevance Of Context In Content Curation" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDo6YrJKaoM.
There is also another piece "Context Not Content is King" by Arnold Waldstein I posted this some time ago. It is very relevant today and hopefully sheds more light on what will set you apart from people who are just aggregating links.
Last but not least......
Robin also has a view point and invites us into a conversation when he discusses the scoring system which you will see when you read the article. It makes me want to respond, it's a two way dialogue between him and me, he's not just talking at me by reposting content without adding anything else.
I happen to agree with him about this but that's a whole other discussion.
