Week 6- Thing 13 Del.icio.us
I like the idea of having my bookmarks on any computer I use. I don't have a lot of sites that regularly want to visit, but for the few that I do this will be a good option for me. I am wondering if in my class I can encourage my students to use this to share with each other good sites for math tutoring. I am sure they would find plenty of other sites to share as well, but I could at least offer my profile for them to see what sites I have found. Although, I will likely have to make a separate profile for work vs home as I try to keep my personal life separate. I don't mind that my students know I play video games, but I would rather not have them find my bookmarks to the maps and guides. I did enjoy seeing the comments people were making about the bookmarked sites. When I am doing another research project this will be very useful. I also think this is something that my colleague next door would find helpful to use with her students. She teaches history and often I see her students in the lab finding new information and going projects. It seems to me that they could use this tool to consolidate efforts on finding good accurate information.

Delicious really does allow research to be more than the sum of its parts by not making you reinvent the wheel (something I am very opposed to) and because of the comment feature it allows communication to happen at a whole different level.
ReplyDeleteIt is also, coincidentally, really nice when you have to get your computer unexpectedly reimaged and lose all the bookmarks from your desktop..... Personal experience here :-)
