This week's discovery activity is about curation tools. Curation tools may be used to organize and create various digital activities to enhance efficiency. In this session, there were multiple curation tools that were introduced to me, however, there are many others that are in the world wide web. In this session I have discovered the curation tool called Scoop.it. This tool helps with creating an online magazine on a topic, then it goes to various social media networks. This is convenient to various people that like to keep up to date with various social media platforms. Examples of these include Youtube artists that post everything to all their social media platforms to keep their subscribers updated.

When discovering about the bookmarking tools and the use of tagging it helps keep everything organized and in one place. This is also one of the categories of my PLE which is to organize content. In using these skills that I have developed in this week's session I am able to organize my content. This will also become useful to my educational activities as I implement these skills into various areas. Besides education activities it also helps with my work activities. In general, being organized is helpful to me in enhancing efficiency in various tasks.Valid and reliable online bookmarks contribute to my work and building knowledge. When reading and gathering information for assignments, valid and reliable resources are necessary. Therefore, in order to ensure that it is reliable and correct multiple resources need to be read and evaluate its credibility. Having false resources in my work may result to the whole work leading to a wrong path. This being said, one false resource may result to multiple false points in my work.
In this course I learnt multiple skills and techniques about becoming a digital citizen and gaining digital literacy. For example, a tool that was introduced to me in the last session was the RSS feed reader. It compiles all reading resources into one area and not having to type each url and read through each one. This allows more efficiency when doing reading for assignments or interests. With the Google Feed Reader, I am able to connect it to my learning not only to this course, but also to future courses. Overall, I think that the RSS feed reader and the curation tools help enhance productivity with organizing content into one area.
