The social curation process

Proposed definition of social curation: “the discovery, selection, collection and sharing of digital artefacts by an individual for a social purpose such as learning, collaboration, identity expression or community participation.”

-JOI ITO

I DON’T THINK THAT EDUCATION IS ABOUT CENTRALIZED INSTRUCTION ANYMORE;

RATHER, IT IS THE PROCESS [OF]

ESTABLISHING ONESELF AS A NODE IN A BROAD NETWORK OF DISTRIBUTED CREATIVITY.

WHAT ARE DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR ONLINE IDENTITY CREATION IN SOCIAL CURATION TOOLS?

ONLINE IDENTITY THROUGH EXHIBITION Goffman’s  Presenta*on    of  Self  

Social curation = impression management through explicit exhibition of artefacts

IDENTITY THROUGH 3RD PARTY ARTEFACTS

ONLINE IDENTITY CREATED DIRECTLY

danah  boyd  criterion  for  SNS:  users  “ar*culate  a  list  of  other  users  with  whom  they  share  a  connec*on”                        “view  and  traverse  their  lists  of  connec*ons  and  those  made  by  others”    

ONLINE IDENTITY WITH CURATION CREATED INDIRECTLY

•  Hall  and  Zarro  Pinterest  study  found  that  social  interac*ons  were  very  artefact-­‐focused.    

COLLAPSED CONTEXTS

ROLE IDENTITY CLEAR FROM CLUSTER

ROLE IDENTITY CLEAR FROM CLUSTER

People live their lives and learn across multiple settings, and this holds true not only across the span of our lives but also across and within the institutions and communities they inhabit – even classrooms, for example. I take an approach that urges me to consider the significant overlap across these boundaries as people, tools, and practices travel through different and even contradictory contexts and activities. -KRIS GUTIERREZ

If institutions of learning are going to help learners with the real challenges they face,… [they] will have to shift their focus from imparting curriculum to supporting the

negotiation of productive identities through landscapes of practices.
