Energy
In your lifetime there will be a major transformation in global energy. We will be forced to look for alternative forms of energy. We will also have to create more efficient ways to create and store energy.
Now let's take a look at our objectives.

Collecting Artifacts
There are two methods to collect and catalog your artifacts. Artifacts are images, videos, articles, and websites that you discover in your learning process.
Use Blogger to collect your artifacts. Post links to the artifacts that you find on the web. You can link to images and videos or you can embed them on your blogger site. Just give attribution to where you discovered the artifacts.
Use Twitter in the same way. Post links to your artifacts. Be sure to include the hash tag #e-venergy at the end of your tweet. Energy Group members can search for that hash tag on Twitter and see the evidence that everyone is collecting.
Curating Artifacts
When you add an artifact to Blogger to tweet it on Twitter, take time to comment on the link. Commenting and critiquing the artifacts that you find is called "curating." When you curate an artifact, you add something to it. You add a layer to the Internet's knowledge base by judging and critiquing the artifacts that you find. This makes you a curator. Curators have been described as "information chemists." They mix atoms together in a way to build an information molecule, and then they add value to that molecule.
