6 Tips for Curating Resources for Students

Finding videos, podcasts, and more that will engage all students can be a challenge, but there are ways to make the process easier.

Curation might not be a word in your everyday vocabulary, but it’s something we do every day. We find content we like and tell other people about it—a link to a blog post that a friend or family member might enjoy, or a link to a YouTube video that a colleague might want to share with their students.

When taking on the role of a curator for your students, there are a few things you can do to handpick resources that support every student in your class.

The following list of tips for curating resources includes some of my favorite spots to find content for students.

1. THINK OF CONTENT IN CATEGORIES

2. CHOOSE CONTENT BASED ON LEARNING GOALS

3. SELECT RELEVANT AND AUTHENTIC CONTENT

4. EXTEND A LESSON AND CONNECT TO INTERESTS

5. DECIDE HOW TO ORGANIZE AND DISTRIBUTE CONTENT

6. CURATE WITH COLLEAGUES AND STUDENTS
