The forgotten “C”?? Curation? Because I do not spend any significant amount of time online, I had to figure out what curation had to do with one’s digital life. I checked out the advised website Feedly and another one called Pocket. I was instantly bombarded with endless sites!! I suppose if I did spend a lot of time online, these websites would be useful. But for me personally, I do not have a need for them, nor do I have the time for them.
To keep my files organized and accessible, I use the Cloud. For example, I attended a PD during my last placement and received a text from my sub stating that he somehow misplaced my sub plan. Thankfully, I had uploaded it to the Cloud and was able to instantly email it to the school’s secretary from my phone. Crisis quickly solved, thanks to technology! (Didn’t think you would hear me say that!!)
When it comes to students, the Cloud may not be an option because it does cost money. I strongly recommend to students to create a Google Drive. That way, it is easily accessible through their phones, and makes it more difficult for them to say, “I lost my assignment”.
Thanks for reading!! Til next time!
