Technology for Educational Leaders: Curating Content (15 clock hours): In this micro-credential, participants will create a curated system using both a variety of curation tools and a digital medium such as a website or blog for sharing meaningful diverse content with other educators. Information overload is defined as a situation in which an individual receives too much information at one time and cannot think about it in a clear way. It is estimated that, in today’s digital world, 90% of all the data in the world has been generated over the last two years. Therefore, curation of diverse content in a way that labels, organizes, judges, analyzes, and synthesizes is critical for any individual to make sense of all available information. For the person (or persons) doing the curating, the act of organizing, analyzing and explaining allows growth in all levels of Bloom’s taxonomy. For the users of the curated content, the curation allows an opportunity to absorb information in a way that ameliorates the effects of information overload.
