Curation Part II

       This week for my curation, I have been working on getting all of my information put down onto web pages. I figured that doing that first would be the best and most time effcient way to doing things. If I put on information whenever I was finished with a graphic, it would take me forever to do this project. The most interesting thing I have found so far would be all the different videos I plan on putting on the curation. I have a specific page for "dekes" or the style moves that hockey players make in order to score goals or make a play. It is amazing how well their brain thinks and comprehends the game at such a high pace, and seeing the different moves they can make with the puck just makes it even that much better.

       The biggest obstacle for me so far, would be figuring out how to put all my information together in a way that's more than just a bunch of reading, and finding a way to word it that would make sense for everyone. For me, hockey knowledge just comes to me naturally and there are so many different terms I use to explain it that it can be hard to turn off that part of my brain since it is so prominent in everything I do in my everday life. My goal is to continue to get all my curating down first and then figure out how to put it all in a way that can create some type of story. If I can get the story part figured out, I think that all the other stuff will come much more smoothly and I'll get a better idea of what I'm trying to get at.

       As I mentioned above, one of the first steps I want to take is to find a way to make my curation into a story. I'm not 100% sure how I'll find a way to do that, but I'm sure it will come to me as I continue researching. The second step I need to take is to find more information on the rules involving head hits (what's illegal/legal). On top of finding more info, I want to create a video or something visual that can get the point across the best way possible. To try and teach a rule about head hits through text would just be plain boring, and no one would be interested in learning. Lastly, I want to start making a team starting lineup page, but since it's the playoffs it is a little harder trying to find all the lineups from the regular season. This is also another step into figuring out the story portion of my curation.
