In a digital era defined by paradox, where an abundance of data coexists with a growing difficulty in discerning reliable knowledge, this book presents digital curation as the strategic answer to one of education's most pressing challenges. Digital Curation in Education: Towards Meaningful Learning positions curation as a core pedagogical competency for contemporary education.

Far beyond the mere aggregation of content, curation is an intentional process of research, selection, contextualisation, and sharing that adds value and meaning. This practice redefines the role of the teacher, who evolves from a transmitter of information into a "knowledge curator" — guiding learners through the complexity of the digital landscape.

Across these pages, the reader will find a comprehensive analysis addressing:

The urgency of curation as a defence mechanism against "infoxication" and disinformation.
The pedagogical benefits for students (fostering critical thinking and autonomy), educators (enriching their practice), and institutions (driving innovation).
A practical guide featuring strategies, digital tools (such as Wakelet, Padlet, and Pinterest), and the challenges of implementation.
The future of curation and its synergy with Artificial Intelligence, which elevates the educator's role to that of "meta-curator" — the critical evaluator of AI tools themselves.

Intended for educators, policymakers, students, and all those seeking responses to the challenges of our time, this book envisions the transformation of the classroom into a dynamic "curation studio", where teachers and learners collaborate actively in the construction of meaningful knowledge.
