What is Digital Curation?
According to Wikipedia digital curation is the selection, preservation, maintenance, collection, and archiving of digital assets. Digital curation establishes and maintains value in digital data for present and future use.
What Does Digital Curation Mean to Me?
Digital curation to me is using different online platforms to store my personal and professional data. The digital data that I care about the most are my pictures, videos, and notes.
Digital Platforms I Use for My Digital Curation:
Goodnotes: Goodnotes | Notes Reimagined | Note-Taking App
I use the Goodnotes app to take all of my notes in. I like Goodnotes because within the app there are many organizational features that help my notes stay all in one place and very organized. For example, I like the folder feature, and that you can put folders within folders. This helps me organize the types of classes I am taking and the year of the semester I am taking them. Like I said before all my notes are in one place so I don’t have to carry around ten different notebooks all I need is my iPad and I’m ready to go. I also like that it is super easy to find past notes I have taken. I just have to click on the proper folder instead of rummaging through multiple notebooks. If I need further assistance finding a certain note I took there is a search button that can be used. Using the search button is very easy all you do is enter a word and all the notes that have the word in it will pop up organized by title or note passages.
Example of what notes can look using the app Goodnotes:

Google Photos:
I love Google Photos because it backs up my camera roll for me causing me not to worry about losing important photos of videos I have taken. There is also a photos-by-face feature that takes your photos and groups them based on similar faces. This helps you find photos of your loved ones much faster. Google Photos makes it very easy to share photos with friends. You can even create a public photo album and upload photos into it and then the people you add to the photo album will be able to view it. This is great if you want to share a trip with your family or for sharing baby pictures.
