Coaches as Curators ? In our series of looking at Web Skills we examine the skill of Curating Surely curators are the people who work in Museums not on Soccer Fields? But as a modern coach do you attempt any of the following six skills: - Capture and Collect information carefully chosen from the internet in the form of videos, articles, practices & games?
- Organize this content in files and under labels?
- Add Context to what you have organized for example by organizing it in a sequential order you have established?
- Add Meaning by including some personal notes to help you understand the material for your own benefit? (and in future for others?)
- Review the material and provide your own comments? In simple terms give your view as to what is good and what is not so good?
- Share your reviewed content with others?
If you have saved a web link, pressed the ' like ' button on YouTube clip,re-tweeted a tweet ,added comment to a Facebook post or forwarded on a web page to a friend then you have acted as a 'curator': in fact we are all curators now !
