Even though I was a participant in CCK08, and marginally involved in CCK09, I didn't recall these ideas of what the teacher would become, although I do recall discussing the concept a few times in the chats in Elluminate. Curation is an interesting metaphor for teaching in the new technological environment - gather and display evidence, sometimes in a structured path, and allow conversation to develop from there. Allow the user/learner to make sense and meaning, then interject to either drive conceptual points further, or provide counter-points. I'd like to think this is what I do, but I'm not so sure. Even though feedback about my teaching is always positive, and people feel that they've learned something... I don't know if that's true. Maybe I need to ask better questions.
