I think that all the tools out there on the web are great. One problem.. I cannot remember all the programs, sites, and applications of each. So, out of the tools introduced, one nearly remedies my problem, it is more of an organizational tool that can be accessible anywhere (online)… Delicious.
Every time I get on the internet, first its email, then Facebook, then the weather. Like clockwork I check for any new pieces of information on each. As a teacher, Delicious can turn into the first site, which serves as a stem to the rest of the connected world. I can keep my sites in priority order where it turns into more of a checklist of things to do. We can all be more organized.
In the classroom, Delicious can be an intermediary for students to remain focused and safe in their class work. They can simply be bookmarks to note where they can find the information for the assignment, they can be allowed sites for viewing by the school for fun, and they could even serve as a non-example of places to go. The World Wide Web is often too big for our young kids to handle, especially elementary kids. We could use this site to make it just a tiny bit more manageable.

I really liked Delicious.com, too! There are SO many good resources on the internet that it is really nice to have one place to be able to keep them together, and you can access them from any location. It really is a great tool.
ReplyDeleteIf we truly want to be lifelong learners, then delicious is a great tool to help us organize and sift through all of the information out there.
