0:00.0	This is Jennifer Gonzalez welcoming you to episode 88 of the Cult of Pedagogy
0:04.7	podcast. In this episode I am going to explore one question. Are you a curator or
0:11.3	a dumper?
0:23.7	Suppose you know a lot about a certain topic. For the sake of argument let's say
0:29.3	that topic is sushi. One evening you're on social media somewhere and an
0:34.3	acquaintance posts this. Have never tried sushi. Any advice? Oh my gosh you
0:40.8	totally have advice. You start by sending your friend a link. Then you find
0:46.5	another one. Then well there's just so much great stuff out there. She should
0:52.3	know about it. So you send her over to this Google Doc you made that contains

1:28.5	the top. Now I hate to break it to you but your friend she went to that first
1:34.0	link you sent her on social media and she read most of the article. It gave
1:37.9	her some useful information. Stuff she probably could have looked up on her own
1:41.5	but still it helped. The second link you sent she meant to get to but then she got
1:47.3	called away from her computer and never got back to it. And your Google doc. She
1:52.8	took one look at it got overwhelmed and left and it's a shame because you have
1:58.2	some really good stuff on that list. Especially the one in the right hand
