Badge #16: Content Curation

Since learning about the Creative Commons licenses in this class, I have always made sure to watch out for copyrights. Before with presentations, I found it very easy to pull content from Google Images without knowing where the images came from first. For all of the presentations I did in this class, I made sure the select images and information only when it was not copyright protected, and I made sure to account for it in the sources section of my presentation. While I lacked foresight on my first microteaching lesson and did not include a Creative Commons license, I have since gone back and added one…which hopefully will not lead to any curation of my own project.

Here is my first project, now with a CC license attached.

I believe that thinking about curation has caused me to create better presentations. I started with this class, and I know that this skill will continue to transfer into any other presentation I make in the future. If we think about information as something to be curated, it takes on a level of preciousness. It must be thought about and planned for – not just thrown on a Powerpoint slide in a random order because we need to hit all of the points on a rubric. I took careful consideration with all of the information I presented during my teachings in this class as a cause of this. Hopefully, my presentations came across as balanced, logical, and engaging.
