Christopher Crawford

I created the Curating Content challenge because I agree with influential tech evangelists, like Robert Scoble and Guy Kawasaki, that content curation will be an essential 21st century skill. So much new content is produced and posted to the web everyday, vetting and collecting useful sources is necessary. Through creating the challenge, I learned to not focus on specific tools. Content curation tools are relatively new and constantly evolving. I realized I couldn't focus on "Curating Content with Scoop.it v1.2" because it would ignore other great tools and it would be obsolete in a matter of weeks. I tried to focus on universal content curation skills that are needed no matter what tool a user employs. I look forward to hearing any feedback.

  This is a great challenge. Any idea of who your target audience is and how to find them?

  Fantastic challenge, love the way you have structured it, your titles are super and it tackles a very interesting (and challenging) topic in an exciting way. A small suggestion, on task 5 to make this "Share any extra information on content curation and a link to your curated list below! " a more distinct deliverable for the task/your challenge. Additionally, maybe you would like to ask your learners to include some guided reflection when posting their curated list, summarizing their choices/inisghts so far. Some ideas, hope it helps!
