Thing # 15 - Delicious

Whew, this was a lot to take in and I am going to need some time to mull over this one. It does get tedious going through a bookmark list from the menu so using Delicious is definitely quicker and easier. The Delicious sidebar is great for getting through all the stuff you save as a bookmark and offering options about how to get through the list. Click here for my delicious link. I chose links to some of the sites that were listed in previous Things assignments, because I hope to go back and explore more at a later date. I got sidetracked at one of the sites PollDaddy. (I tried not to play too long, but felt like polls and surveys would be a big help in making a site more interactive.) Getting refocused, I tagged the site and moved on to the next site. I haven't quite figured out how to see what others have in Delicious, and I never saw the information I chose to share on the 23 Things site. So, my experience seems to be lacking in the social aspect of this tool. But, I will just keep on trying because I know that organization and ease of getting through info is pretty critical. Once the school year starts, there is no time to fumble around looking for stuff! I hope to use this tool mainly to discover cool sites that other teachers are using to help their students. Since I work closely with parents, I hope to find some tutoring type sites for them to use at home with their children.
