Thing 13

I am glad to see that there is another way to bookmark. I was always hesitant to bookmark too much as scrolling down to try and find a bookmarked site could take forever! Also, a disadvantage to the "old" way is that if your Promoetheum board is on and students are in front of you, they are scrolling over all of your bookmarks as well! Delicious will provide a tabbed filing system for me and looks to be a wonderful way to share with colleagues. Each of us seem to find different sites on our own time and this is a wonderful way to pool our resources and manpower which is vital now with the vastness of technology. Over the past few years I have tried to get my colleagues to send me their favorite educational sites so I could compile a list for our Department. Websites trickled in one by one over a long and interrupted period of time. This will make it so much easier! I will just send them an instructions sheet for Delicious! Thank you for including this in 23 things!

I can see how planning your tags names carefully will save much time in the future as re-tagging your resources will be time consuming. It would also be wise to try and use the same tagging themes when bookmarking for Departments. A little planning will save a lot of time. So, a District Department Delicious bookmark site is what I have been wanting to create without knowing it! Voila!
