Learning Objectives
Objective two: Learners will use either Scoop.It or Paper.li to create an organized collection of at least twelve sources that concern digital literacy or social media literacy or a mixture of both with at least 80 percent accuracy in illustrating and commenting on the literacy.
What I want learners to do here is get used to using web 2.0 tools and creating communities of interest. One of the easiest ways to do this is through either social bookmarking with sites like Diigo or Delicious or by using digital curation tools. Students will have access already to a Diigo and Delicious site that serves as a course resource so I would like to introduce them to two digital curation tools. This activity matches with Evaluating on Bloom's revised taxonomy. The learners are searching, judging, posting, and organizing information into a cohesive whole. These tools can be helpful in aggregating content on a specific topic of relevance instead of following people and could potentially become more effective search engines than even Google when it comes to specific content.
An interesting blog post to ponder is this one from June of 2012 which appeared in the Huffington Post.
Tool: Scoop.It or Paper.li - Data Curating - Pinterest could also fall into this category on a highly visual level.
Potential Challenges: Making the information personalized. Copyright issues? Using proper citations. Again, as with objective one, there could be the teacher control issue.
Strengths: Helps with decision making, judging relevancy, and making learning personalized. Each learners collection will be highly differentiated.
