Digital curation is something that I have been working on improving over the last two years. As a frequent Zite reader I would often find articles interesting, read them once, and never be able to find them again when I would like to reread them or show them to someone else. After experimenting with various tools to house these articles I settled on Pocket. Pocket is a great resource (I primarily use the iPad app) to store articles I find interesting, whether it be a funny article I've read, a recipe I've found, and an educational article I may want to use for a future blog post.
Having strong curation skills is important for students. For example when students are working on an IRP and need to keep track of their resources, having a site to keep what they have used organized so they are able to refer back to them is key.
Curation is also great when working on collaborative projects. Google Docs or Dropbox are both great tools that let students, or students and teachers, work an a document while not in the same physical space.
