Tech task #2. We have looked at and discussed different ways of organizing yourself online. Before this class I just used the classic "add to favourites". This works but it does take some effort and time organizing it as well. We talked about a few other ones in class that allow you to access your information from any computer. For example Pinterest, Diigo and Feedly are just a few. After exploring these tools for curation I found I really like Feedly. Both the computer and mobile interfaces are really simple to follow and use. I also found when searching for things on Feedly I found a lot of things I like and everything that came up was relevant to what I searched for. This may not be the case for everyone that has tried Feedly but it was for me. Below is a picture of what the mobile interface looks like.
I believe it is important for anyone who will be using the internet for resources to have themselves organized. Teachers and students don't have time to try and remember every site they like and think they might use so curation makes it simple. As a teacher I would give my students the choice of what they want to use because they might find something they prefer better than feedly.
Gotta love the "Add to Favourites!"
