(Curation flow chart found here.)
I am going to be quite honest, my organization would be considered as disorganized to most. Hopefully this class will whip me into shape! In the past I have tried to use bookmarks as a way to group the things I find interesting online together. Despite my lack of ability to keep my online life organized, I am really good at filing my saved documents into folders. That is something I am very OCD about because I know I will revisit them, so having them in a location that I can easily find is important to me. Hopefully, I can transfer that skill of filing my saved documents in organized folders to online with the help of this class.
As for social media, I am not too good at it. I know how to use it and am capable to do so, but I absolutely suck at following through. I've never been big on Pinterest. It has always seemed a bit like one of those websites that leads you down the rabbit hole and you end up spending an endless amount of hours filtering through posts. This is the reason why it is not my cup of tea at all. I do like Twitter, but I just often forget about it.
The engagement level of this class will hopefully improve my ability to actually function effectively and efficiently online. Online curation seems like one of those areas where you want to work smarter, not harder.

Hi, Christina!
Your honesty about your disorganization totally made me laugh! I am one of those crazy organized people, but my mom is the exact opposite. Still, she insists on telling people she’s organized. At least you can admit it!
I felt the same way about pinterest for a long time, but I love it now. However, your description of it as a rabbit hole is spot on! Without a good deal of self-control, you’ll find yourself spending an hour and a half looking at different ways to make macaroni and cheese—there are seriously so many.
Hope your curation is going well for you so far!
PS I am pretty sure I called you “Christine” in my last comment. I am so sorry!!
