Del.icio.us
Well it has been some time now since I have been able to trial some new web 2.0 tools. However, I am back on board now and I have to say today did not start out as a great success. Unfortunately iGoogle was not working very well so I have jumped forward a few tasks to Week 8 which is using del.i.cious
This tool has great possibilities for teachers. At the moment I have website bookmarks everywhere, on my Mozilla browser at home, on my Internet Explorer browser at school and even more at my parents place on their computer. What delicious allows me to do is upload all of those bookmarks to a site on the internet so that they can be accessed from anywhere. Also I can tag them so that they are organised and I can share them with others.
The best thing about de.lic.ious is that I can search for a topic, e.g interactive maths website and I can see a list of all the websites that have been bookmarked by other members. If a website has 10,000 bookmarks then I know it must be useful and I just add it to my bookmarks. If it only has 4 bookmarks then I don’t bother to look at it.
Delicious is very helpful. I will be organising my bookmarks in the near future (a job for the holidays).
