Nancy White, Innovations in Education LLC
In today’s standardized learning environment, it is difficult to find the time to help students to question and explore their own areas of interest and passion. What if there were a strategy that allowed time for this - because it meets the research requirements in the Common Core standards and helps students to develop essential workforce readiness and 21st century skills? That strategy is called Curating. Learn how to help students get in touch with their own sense of wonder, and start on the path to personalized learning.

Using A Curator's Mindset to Show Who I am As a Learner
with Stacy Guerin
Developing curation as a foundational skill and mindset in PK-5 has the potential to shift to a culture where students identify as learners and take ownership of their learning. In this session, participants will learn what curating really is, and how to design curating opportunities for their learners. We will share examples of what this looks like at different grade levels, PK-5, as well as what we have learned on our journey of helping students to become curators. Participants will create a learner profile to identify characteristics of each age group that align with a curating mindset. They will use this to design a plan for curating with their learners.

Personalize Learning With Content Curation
The ISTE Standards for Students call for students to be Knowledge Constructors, with indicator 3c stating "students curate information from digital resources using a variety of tools and methods to create collections of artifacts that demonstrate meaningful connections or conclusions." What is curating? How can this lead to students identifying their passions and owning their learning? This introductory workshop explores these questions.
