Examine how we sift through the web for content that helps us learn and connect. In this vast repository of information, what kind of systems of organization bring forward items of importance or moments of discovery? What content is de-prioritized or further obscured?

Begin a collection of 40 things using something from your walk as the focus. Your collection will be housed on a new Are.na channel you create and should consist of external texts, images, videos, sounds, links, etc.

You will then share your collection and 5 items from it with your class in a brief presentation. Afterwards, you will swap your collection with a classmate and add 10 additional items to your new collection.

Finally, you will create a website organizing your newly swapped collection. It is crucial to remember that you are designing a flexible system, one that can grow and change over time, not a static website.
