I found this module to be a fairly easy one - compared to module 6 which was a nightmare!!!!!
Delicious to me is the exact same thing as the Favourites/Bookmarks section we have on the internet explorer. The main difference though is that delicious offers its users a more simple/easy way to store and remember the sites you have visited. If I had a dollar for every time I visited a bookmarked site that I THOUGHT was the one I needed...I'd be a millionaire!!!!! or at the very least have a spare $50. The use of tags is a great way to remember WHY you stored the sites you did in the first place. I havent saved many sites, but I have included a few.

Another extension of the traditional bookmarking/favourites feature, is the opportunity to share sites that friends/acquintances have. Delicious allows its users - us teachers!!! - to share sites and in a way, save our time. schools could use this site and have teachers who are in charge of various KLA's source sites and save them to a user page. With all KLA teachers doing this, the school could have a database of their very own filled with many educational sites that are subject specific. Of course there would be some slack teachers (most likely myself) and those teachers who just don't have the time. In essence though, another site with great potential....now if only we could increase the day to 26 hours and decrease teaching time to 3 hours!!!!

I agree wth you Chris. Delicious is a free and easy site to navigate. It is very similar to bookmarking in internet explorer, but of course the extra advantage is that no matter which computer you are using, your bookmarks will be readily available to you.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree about how convenient it is for teachers to share sites but also value your point about the extra time needed for this which teachers just dont have!
