Remember

Tools are important,

but there is more to this

than meets the eye!

"All of these tasks are necessary. As the vitality of the

human body depends on the proper function of all of its

organs, so also the maturation of the Christian life

requires that it be cultivated in all its dimensions:

knowledge of the faith, liturgical life, moral formation,

prayer, belonging to community, missionary spirit.

When catechesis omits one of these elements, the

Christian faith does not attain full development.

CURATION

Curation is becoming an increasingly important term and for good reason: the online world is increasingly messy, muddled and full of blind alleys. - Tom Foremski

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/foremski/curation-versus-aggregation-represents-human-web-versus-machine-web/1569

What is curation?

Curation is a person or

persons, engaged in the

act of choosing and

presenting things related to

a specific topic and

context. - Tom Foremski
