Using Content Curation for Professional Learning: Seek, Sense, Share Round: E Track: Skill Building Level: General

Content curation is the process of sifting through information on the Web and organizing, filtering and making sense of it and sharing the very best content with your professional network. Rather than another potential recipe for information overload, content curation can actually be a method to tackle this problem. With so much information coming at us from social networks, websites, emails, and other digital sources, we can no longer afford to just whine about it - content curation can empower us to win the battle over too much information and too little learning. In this session you will:
 * Learn the top three benefits of creating a professional learning network.
 * Understand the practice of good content curation.
 * Learn techniques for being efficient and staying focused in the face of too much information.
