This slideshow really  gives a broad picture of the world of content curation.  It touches on aspects of curation that I have never really considered before.

These slides give extremely good examples of successful and profitable content curation in a good range of situations. I think content curators can really benefit by seeing and understanding how strategies, tools, and concepts work together in practice.

Losing my assets {crypto} to online scammers is one of the worst feeling i ever had.I was a victim to crypto online scams who made away with my $120,000 worth crypto (USDT) after investing with them in their platform.. Before the intervention of {ASSETS LAB} a recovery agency who helped me recoup back all the funds that was stolen from me ..
Three months ago i ran into a crypto investment platform called {GX TRADE} and they promise to assist me in crypto investment and mining and profits, after several weeks of following them on their platform where they teach their subscribers about crypto mining and investment and offering assistance to help their subscribers to make profits for them by persuading us to invest on their platform {Gx trade }..
2 months ago i decided to invest with them , i did all the necessary requirements and agreement was reached..One week later , i went to to check on them on their platform and discovered that i cant reach them anymore on any of their platform which turns out to be a scam after so many enquirement and confirmations .. i was devastated and nearly lost my life on the process.
But thanks to my friend who introduced me to {ASSETS LAB LTD} a crypto recovery agency who helped me recover every penny stolen from me by the crypto scammers after a month of submitting my case to them . They followed my case diligently and made sure they recovered my funds and brought back life and joy to me and my family again ..
Contact {ASSETS LAB LTD } for any of your recovery including crypto recovery and any of your lost assets .. You can save a life today.

Hashtags: How to Use them, and How You Shouldn’t | Professional Learning Promotion & Engagement | Scoop.it

Hashtags are a big part of our interaction on social media every day. However, I doubt most users have actually grasped the concept of hashtags, how to use them and what they actually offer readers in terms of relevance or context. A simple hashtag can go a long way, and make your content travel a long way as well! It’s imperative that we all learn how to use hashtags as well as how NOT to use them. Here we go....

Free Technology for Teachers: How to Embed TodaysMeet Rooms Into Your Blog

Free Technology for Teachers: How to Embed TodaysMeet Rooms Into Your Blog | Professional Learning Promotion & Engagement | Scoop.it

On Tuesday I shared my discovery about embedding TodaysMeet rooms into blogs. I've had a couple of people email me with questions about how to do that. In the video embedded below I provide a short overview of how to embed TodaysMeet rooms into blog posts.


Applications for Education
Embedding a TodaysMeet room into a blog post might be a way to avoid having to post the link to your TodaysMeet room in a public forum. Rather than giving out a TodaysMeet link you could simply direct students to the classroom blog that they are already familiar with visiting.

How to Create Moodle Badges | Professional Learning Promotion & Engagement | Scoop.it
Badges are new in Moodle 2.5+ . Badges are a great way to motivate users. They are an electronic way to demonstrate that you have mastered a specific skill. Moodle badges may be awarded based on a variety of criteria chosen by the teacher. You can upload your own images as badges or get them from a site such as Badges for Your Moodle.

Elizabeth Dalton's curator insight, April 11, 2015 8:38 AM

Digital badges have been around for several years, but still have a way to go until they are fully integrated and recognized appropriately in education and in the world of work.  The fact that Moodle, a widely-used and free system for online instruction, has integrated them in their system is definitely a step in the RIGHT direction.  Go Moodle!

New Data: What Types of Content Perform Best on Social Media?

New Data: What Types of Content Perform Best on Social Media? | Professional Learning Promotion & Engagement | Scoop.it

Check out this original research from BuzzStream and Fractl on what content performs best on social media throughout the year.

 

In many aspects of life, timing is key. If you've got to schedule a very important meeting, and all of the attendees aren't morning people, scheduling an 8 a.m. start time probably won't result in a productive meeting. Or maybe you want to book a cheap vacation -- you probably want to avoid scheduling one during the holidays. 

 

The same is true with content creation and social media. If you want your content to do well on social media, you've got to be strategic about what you publish and when you publish it. To figure out how and when to publish content to have a big social media splash, Fractl recently partnered with BuzzStream to analyze 220,000 articles from 11 verticals published during June 2014 to November 2014. Check out our findings below.
