Curation: Week 6

This week, I found some really good things online to share for my curation blog post!

1. The Shreemati News- this was a website done by one of my classmates and I think that she did an absolutely fabulous job! I was so impressed with this storybook I decided to post it.

2. "The Mongoose" from the Mahabharata- this was one of my favorite stories from the reading this week! This is a picture from the story from the PDE Mahabharata.

3. The Himalayas- this was for research for my storybook website since I am creating my storybook from the perspective of children in the Himalayas. I absolutely love how Google lines up the information when you search for a topic.

Week 1 Curation

I have had a lot of experience with computers before this class so I was able to easily understand and navigate through the topic of curation for this week. I am a naturally organized person, so it comes very natural to apply organization to computers as well as my life. I already use bookmarks in my web browser to save the things I use most often or want to go back and look at again. They are very helpful for a class like this or they can help if you need to save a bunch of articles to read for a project, for example.

While I was not familiar with Known, I was familiar with Pinterest as I use that website frequently. It is so fun to be on Pinterest for hours and hours because it is so easy to access creative ideas and intelligent design.

I included this screenshot of my Pinterest account to demonstrate my love for curation and organization, especially online! Pinterest is the easiest way to summarize how simple it can be to organize all of your information (or pins as Pinterest calls it) on the internet!
