La curation est un excellent moyen de partager l'information, de découvrir de nouvelles idées ou concepts, et d'influencer.

Agreed. Curation is an under-appreciated skill, especially it seems, by marketers..

Notwithstanding the viral content-marketing tam-tam keeps selling the idea of content curation as a miracle-shortcut to work less, produce more content and get all of the benefits that an online publisher would want to have, reality has quite a different shade.

To gain reader's attention trust and interest, it is evidently not enough to pull together a few interesting titles while adding a few lines of introductory text.

Unless your readers are not very interested themselves into the topic you cover, why would they take recomendations from someone who has not even had the time to fully go through his suggested resources?

Superficially picking apparently interesting content from titles or even automatically selecting content for others to read is like recommending movies or music records based on how much you like their trailers or their cover layouts.

Can that be useful beyond attracting some initial extra visibility?

How can one become a trusted information source if one does not thoroughly look and understand at what he is about to recommend?

This is why selling or even thinking the idea of using content curation as a time and money-saver is really non-sense.

Again, for some, this type of light content curation may work in attracting some extra visibility in the short-term, but it will be deleterious in the long one, as serious readers discover gradually that content being suggested has not even been read, let alone being summarized, highlighted or contextualized.

Content curation takes serious time.

A lot more than the one needed to create normal original content.

To curate content you need to:

(While it is certainly possible to do a good curation job without doing exactly all of the tasks I have outlined above, I believe that it is ideal to try to do as many as these as possible, as each adds more value to the end result you will create.)

These are many more steps and activities than the ones required to create an original piece of content.

Curation is all about quality, insight and attention to details.

It is not about quantity, speed, saving time, producing more with less.

truly Curation should not be  merely aggregating different links without  taking off time to reflect indeed it is very to end up like some one buying clothes impulsively only to realise you could have done without some of them.

An absolutely significant skill in any research or investigation, for educators and learners in the digital age - the curation of content- with a clear focus or question in mind, the capacity to target a search field, sift through, reflect on and make decisions about the most suitable resource or evidence to use. What a great learning experience.

SCOOPS --  I began using Scoop when I was defining myself a LITE FEET DANCER.  There was no single source of info about Lite Feet dance, a NYC Born Battle dance phenom and YouTube Sensation.  I created LITE FEET SCOOP TO reference for my own resume but also to provide anyone interested a link to the multitude of YOUTUBE Channels, Sound Cloud and personal sites dedicated to this unique art form and the talented dancers who participate. 

Scoop.it helps with the process of curating content. This is a must for your social media.

Amazing

Por qué la curaduría de contenido es una nueva forma de comunicación

How do I know I'm curating this? (go meta!) Well, inserting comments helps. I can't read the top level in this image, so this could be improved.

Could be nicely applied to online PLC formation. 

该内容策展的框架，虽招致很多争议，但其将策展能激发学生参与到让学生的策展产生价值，分成了三个类别，8个层次，这对指导策展教学很有意义。

第一类是引起学生注意：1.吸引我; 2.激励我。

第二类是告诉学生：3.告诉我; 4.给我看。

第三类是让学生自己行动：5.让我来；6.支持我；7.让我做的更好；8.让我产生价值。

Here at Scoop.it, we think adding a visual touch to your content is essential for maximum user engagement. No matter how thrilling or enticing your content may be, a memorable image will more likely stick in the minds of your readers, and captivate them to read your article in the first place. 

Images have impact and you should use them. Jayson DeMers gives a lot of previous tips, including SEO tips, in this great post. 

In particular, changing or modifying images can be very interesting when you repurpose or curate content. Changing a picture to add context to your audience will help engagement while making it also more personal. 

SEO va de pair avec le contenu

You have explained Content Curation well. Thank you. :)

If you understand the power of #content #curation you will do more of it. The statistics show how Curating Content can play a big part in Search Engine Optimization. The right level of participation brings more exposure.com 

If you are considering being a teacher for this and the next generation - take a few tips from this scoop!

Curating is about finding and selecting information in order to learn about a subject. Youngsters can be encouraged to do this  pre-school.  This motivational 21st century skill can be encouraged at home. with educational games toys and and books which stimulates interest.  For example children can learn about  science by interacting with Chemistry Lab; Horrible Science - explosive experiments; Newton's Cradle and Science Museum.  By the time they get to school they are already full of curiosity and ready to increase their knowledge.  Audrey curating for www.homeschoolsource.co.uk

By Robin Good,

Here's a short first-hand report highlighting how an 8th grade social studies class teacher (Terri Inloes) has fully leveraged the content curation potential to let her students dive, discover and make sense of topics (in this case social reform movements) that they had not studied before. All by themselves.

Here the steps taken to make this happen:

a) By using the Question Formulation Technique, the teacher prepared pairs of photographs representing each of the reform movements, one picture dating back to the late 19th century, and another representing where that social reform movement stands in today’s society. 

b) After checking out all of the photos, students settled on the pair of pictures that most caught their interest.

c) They brainstormed and refined a set of specific questions, and then shared their thinking with the class. 

d) With the feedback received they selected the topic which they would curate. 

e) At this point students planned their research strategies. By using 5 different graphic organizers from the book Q Tasks, by Carol Koechlin and Sandi Zwaan, students were allowed to choose the one that they thought would help them the most in planning their keyword search strategies. 

f) Students were assigned WordPress blogs and provided basic instructions on how to use them to 

curate and publish their research work.

g) Discovery and real learning kicked in as students proceeded in collaborative groups to research and document their chosen topic.

Thanks to Nancy White of Innovations in Education for participating, writing and reporting about it.

Gibbon is a new web app which makes it extremely easy to create beautiful-to-look-at learning playlists by simply adding specific article or video links to your custom-made content compilation. 

Gibbon actually goes the extra mile by grabbing the full content from each original source you curate, by integrating it into your learning playlist, and by stripping out of any design distractions it may have been accompanied by. 

Learning playlists can be easily edited, arranged and shared with others. 

Gibbon offers a wonderful and elegant design, providing a clutter-free, elegant and very effective way to present and organize content lists.

Furthermore Gibbon adds a few specific touches that make this curation tool particularly fit for learning a topic, by providing reading time estimates for each link in a list, striking out titles of completed readings, highlighting with simple icons the type of content showcased (articles, video, etc.), and creating a focused and distraction-free reading environment.

My comment: Gibbon looks very promising to me, as it attempts not to be another generic curation tool but addresses a very specific need and application while providing a very well designed and usable tool.

Notwithstanding the beauty and simplicity of the UI I felt the need for an integrated search tool that would facilitate me in grabbing those content items I wanted to add into a learning playlist. 

I also had several problems in trying to add new content to my test playlist. New URLs would "time out" easily while being fetched and all of the content added via the bookmarklet or the Google extension didn't show up in my collection.

A very promising tool to effectively curate content learning playlists.

Free to use.
