Proud to be leader in Smile EUN Project COP2 and to present my top 10 #curation tools to build #edtech20 #PLN 4 #leadershipday12





Dear friends last year I had the pleasure to participate in Leadership  Day 2011 and today August 15 Dr. Scott McLeod launch a Calling to all Bloggers here for #leadershipday12  . Click here add your post and complete online submision form . Everyone then will be able to see your post in the complete list of submissions.

Like I mention in my previous post here http://bit.ly/prgessentials about my reflections after Intel Teach Training from Pargue, Ollie Bray, our brilliant trainer invite the participants to join also Social Media in Learning and Education Project managed by EUN . Janice Richardson, manager of the project said ,,   SMILE aims to investigate these issues and, through, an online learning course and mentoring techniques, not only encourage the take-up of social media in schools but also to map best practice in order to foster the exchange of ideas and experience” 
Facebook Awards Digital Citizenship Research Grant to European Schoolnet to implement SMILE :) Project and you can read more here  .  This project has 3 parts :
1. An online learning laboratory for 100 teachers from the 30 member states of EUN partnership to investigate and embrace the educational opportunities social media offers;
2.Research with the 100 learning laboratory participants to highlight trends and best practices for how social media is being used and can be used in classrooms;
3.Broad dissemination of results of the research through EUN’s interactive portals for teachers as well as through European and international meetings and conferences.




Still the begining I must told you that I  like verry much this project and for this reason  I was involved  in the discussions in 1st part of the project on the Elearning Platform managed by EUN http://leedu.eun.org/web/smile/home and for my research http://xeeme.com/LucianeCurator I was accepted to be COP2 leader .
            In XXI Century Education, the use of new online technologies ( social media and web 2.0 startup tools and apps ) aren't regarded like a avantgarde movement, but unfortunatelly although we have many free edtools most of the teachers still don't know or don't want to know how to integrate new online technologies into the classroom although in all the schools we have now computers connected to Internet . For this reason I want to implement Curation Restart Education project http://bit.ly/credproject also for romanian teachers and in the same time I am proud to be leader in COP2 organized in Smile Project and we discuss in our Community of Practices about : ,, Using Social Media in schools, whole-school approach " . First we must chose the tools for easy collaboration and sharing ( I chose scoop.it and Pinterest ) and now I will describe the features of 10 of my favorites ( 5 tools described here are startup tools many in beta ) and we must chose what to use in our Community of Practices and for this reason please add comments and proposes . We must also chose the platform who is suitable for us to collaborate 3 mounths and Smile:) I propose mightybell :) , but you can propose other .

I propose also for a good collaboration to use this blog http://smileprojectcop2socialmediainschools.blogspot.com/

where everyone can describe his / her favorite tool related to a subject . Now I will try to add a  short description of the tools and  some features for every tool or app .

I want to begin collaboration in our COP2 with the best 3 startup curation tools  to build and collaborate with  PLN  and for this reason I propose you dear members of my team to use next mounths still now in Smile Project : mightybell, scoop.it and pinterest

1. Mightybell is now my favorite Curation tool to collaborate eSafety with PLN and for this reason I want to use this tool / curation platform to collaborate in Smile Project . This is about infusing passion and color into everyday life. Too often, we spend time on what we have to do, not what we want to do. We’ve lost the ability to follow what makes us curious, in favor of choosing what makes us more efficient.With Mightybell, you can step into a world of curiosity and serendipity. By making space for ideas, interests and adventures with friends, you’re embracing the opportunity to create a more colorful life. Each Mightybell space has a story, one you can share with as many likeminded people as you want. You can share : a question, an article, a link, a video or a photo about something that interests you is all you need to start a Mightybell space. After all, you never know when you’ll discover your next passion.


2. Scoopit is my favorite and the best social media curation tool for easily publish gorgeous magazines. Leverage Curation to increase your visibility. Give persistence to your social media presence. I must told you that you can tag and describe every post on scoop.it .

For our Community of Practices 2  I made a community http://www.scoop.it/t/smileprojectcop2/ where everyoane can suggest a tool or a post, after follow our community .


3. Pinterest is now the tool on the wave hwo bring more trafic than twitter and facebook . For this reason I made a board here http://pinterest.com/lucianecurator/cop2insmileproject/ . Follow Me on Pinterest
