Learning to Learn is 21st Century Teaching and Learning Challenge!
In 21st Century we get that masses of information so that it is nearly becoming impossible to follow them and especial to collect and understand them! Teachers and Educators have big problems with that and not to tell about the learners then…
So, first teachers and educators need to know How-To deal with such a situation before they would be able to teach their learners about it…
Don’t get stressed by the overwhelming data and don’t waste your time! There is a big need to stay very well organized otherwise we will loose the overview, but how!?
In this blog I will give you some tips on How-To which I use myself since years and who could be also useful to you “teachers” and “learners“, where the teachers are also learners as I am also, a Life Long Learner 😉
How-To stay organized
As already mentioned we we get that masses of information and we should first find out where we get the best information and then How-To manage that information so that it doesn’t take to much time efforts…
How to gather information on Internet who fits my topics?
First of all, where can we gather interesting information about topics of our interests? Later on you probably know this eternal problem also: you have found some interesting information which you would like to collect to find it back later… But how-to do? How to do on a way that you find it back very fast without browsing through your bookmarks of your browser, which mostly of time is bad organized anyway???
Using curation to get better organized and to learn
A better way to get organized is the “curation“, thus meaning: you will use Google’s search engine results on a specific Topic and you make your choice about what you want to “keep” and that information you save it on a “curation service” such as (my favorites):
