Curation Situations: Let us count the ways

"Curation is a strategy for telling our stories through the choices we make and the context we create around those choices. When we carefully select, sequence, analyze and organize media–images and quotes and video, as well as our original content and critical narrative, we synthesize unique stories that make meaning of our topics for an audience." Joyce Valenza

Getting Started with Content Curation in the Classroom

"The best curators know how to find what is best by immersing themselves in a niche area while also making surprising connections between ideas in seemingly unrelated worlds. Curators find specific excerpts that are relevant in the moment but also timeless. They can explain the purpose, the context, and the necessity of what they are citing. Often, a great curator adds a perspective and a lens without quite reaching the place of commentary." by John Spencer - http://www.spencerauthor.com/2016/09

Rethinking Content Curation

"Curators in the museum world are the storytellers of the museum. It isn't merely their goal to assemble great art, or quality exhibits—it's their goal to craft a narrative, find the exhibits that support that narrative, and tie the disparate parts together into one cohesive experience." http://brandsavant.com/brandsavant/curation
