Evaluation Matrix by Brian Lemoi

"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
