I’ve created a Pinterest board as requested, but I didn’t see the value of using the board to focus on blended or fully online learning. Instead I’m interested in curating a resource for parents and teachers alike whether they’re dealing with a hybrid (blended) or virtual (fully online) learning situation. Here’s the info:
Pinterest name: JCGafford
Pinterest board name: JC’s 21st Century Teaching & Learning Board
Pinterest URL: https://www.pinterest.com/jcgafford/jcs-21st-century-teaching-learning-board/
Although this Pinterest board is generated as part of an assignment, I’m pretty sure I’m interested in keeping it going beyond the assignment. I’m an edunerd for sure so I really enjoy thinking and talking about teaching and learning. This is why I’m very likely going to go ahead and pursue an Ed.D. degree….if I can do it with scholarships!
As for curation as a concept, I like it, hey Mikey! (Sorry…just dated myself there!) I can for sure recognize the value of curation not only for learners but for teachers as well! In the case of learners the thing I like best about curation is that students can document and refer back to their learning. It becomes a permanent artifact that can serve them in future learning. I ask my students to grade themselves but they have to provide verifiable documentation of their learning. That documentation can take nearly any form as long as it demonstrates the student’s learning. A curated Pinterest or one of the other such sites would be a very genuine and effective way to do that documentation! As far as Teachers are concerned, once they’ve curated a site, they can use it during subsequent quarters/semesters/years thus not having to recreate the wheel as it were. This frees them up to take on other 21st Century teaching practices. Also, teachers can curate a space that can be used by students who are struggling as extra instruction to support and foster improvement in understand and thus, greater mastery overall.
