Curation for Learning- Curation Creation Extend Activity

Moving from Oral to Written Skills

Flipgrid is a useful inclusive application that can be used with students in personal, positive, and profound way. Users may narrow down their topic search by selecting the subject and community as well as key words. Using Language Arts, High School and expository I selected, 'Danger of a Single Story'. The activity offers students a TedTalk with transcript to view and then uses Flipgrid for students to record responses to two questions. It offers viewing tips for instructors as well. I could use this Flipgrid activity in my 10th grade English class as an engaging warm-up activity before beginning a dystopian novel.

Many students expand and share if they feel that their name fits them or if they are still trying to grow into it.  The second step of the activity is a writing activity. Students are to compose two letters over the course of a week. The first letter is to their 13 year old self. What do they want the 13 year old version of them to know? What does the 13 year old inside of them need to hear? The second letter is a letter to their future selves. It depends on the grade level I am working with, but typically it is five years in the future. What did they do this aca

Curation for Learning-Assessing Online Sources with CRAAP

There is not better time to give a CRAAP than when curating resources for ones self and others. CRAAP stands for currency, relevance, authority, accuracy, and purpose. It was developed by California State University-Chico librarians-as if I could possibly LOVE librarians any more than I already did. CRAAP serves as a rubric for determining if resource is current with its information, vital to ones needs, who created it, how accurate or truthful is the information provided, and what the point of the source is. Additionally, I looked over three other rubrics The University of Minnesota's College of Education Open Textbook Library, Faculty Guide for Evaluating OERs by BC Librarians, and Achieve's OER Rubric. Achieve's rubric (2011) was my initial choice, but not applicable for assessing the source I selected. CRAAP worked the best.  I elected to assess Flipgrid. It is a tool that allows for video and podcast discussion format recordings. It is easy for students, parents, and t
