Reflection 2 (25 pts)
There are many communities on the net that have been built around a shared interest. After reading Clay Shirky’s chapter 3 reflect on how in your opinion online communities relate to or affect content curation? Are you a part of or have you know anyone who has been a part of any such communities? If so, why?
Project (10 pts)
Choose either Diigo or Feedly and construct content curation artifact. Again, use Content Curation Planning Worksheet from Part I in your planning. Share your artifact and the plan on your blog along with a short answer to the following question: Explain how this particular technology relates to the concept of curation and why did you pick it?
After sharing your blog post, read other students’ posts and give constructive feedback to other two students. As you give a feedback you can use Content Curation Worksheet for as a guide for evaluation.
Reflect on your learning (10 pts)
Throughout this Unit (part I and part II), you were learning and practicing different skills that have to do with content curation. Using the following questions as a guide, reflect on your learning experience:
- What was the concept you had a trouble with and why (for example, you had a difficulty deciding on who is more important, curator or creator)?
- Looking back to Diigo, do you feel like you are starting to “get” feed reading and does it offer an improvement over traditional website reading and why?
- Have you used web feeds before?
- Do you have questions that remain unresolved?
