3 steps of being a content curator

Daniel Pink's books talks about the importance of being a curator.  It involves 3 steps.

1. Seek
Define the area I want to curate. Put together a list of best resources of information of information and scan them regularly.  That is at least 15 minutes, two times a day.  While scanning, gather the the information that interests me.

2. Sense
To add value to the gathered information, create meaning out of the information assembled.  This could be making an annotation list of web links or simply maintaining my blog regularly.

3. Share
Once I have collected the good stuff and organized it in a meaningful way, I can share it with others through email, my own newsletter or through twitter, linkedin, facebook.  This way I can help others to see their own situation in a new light and potentially reveal new problems that the information can help to solve.

Pink cites Kanter by saying 'putting content curation into practice is part art form, part science, but mostly about daily practice'.  Kanner's "Content Curation Primer" can be found at www.bethkanter.org/content-curation-101/

Pink and Kanter have point out how to act.  I'd better follow their advice and start content curation today!  The three content areas that I wish to curate are these: educational technology, language acquisition and health.
