“A digital curator is a way of collecting, maintaining, preserving and archrival of digital assets or resources” (Frost. S, 2015). There are many digital curating tools including  Storify and BagTheWeb that enable students to be digital curators by collecting and organising information so that it is visually appealing (McCully, 2015).
