OK, first I have to say that I know that my 8th graders will not be able to hear me say "Delicious" without giggling for the first few times. It is just the way they are. However, it was cool to use. The best part was after I saved one site I clicked on the "number" of users, then on one user. From that one person I found about eight other sites that I bookmarked. That saved a lot of time and effort-and we all know it is about saving time!
I think Delicious will be a useful tool for modeling to students how we are all learners. They will enjoy being able to find sites for different topics and sharing them. That, too, will save me time in future years.

I can hear the giggles now! As juvenile as I can be, I have to admit, I had a chuckle when I first heard the name of the site :)
ReplyDeleteCristin, I had the same experience. When I started clicking on other names, I found the best resources. I like this tool.
ReplyDeleteCristin, I am so glad that I read this because I TOTALLY FORGOT about clicking on the other users part!!! What was I thinking? Thanks for posting this! :-)
ReplyDeleteAh, the NETWORK of the Internet at work!! Yes, Cristin, you are allowing Delicious to help organize the world of information for you. You mentioned "filtering" it all in an earlier post or comment. You're doing that and I agree that you can teach kids about learning by way of that.
