Okay this this my second go-around with Delicious and I must say the second time is a charm. The second video provided was a great, quick overview of the tools available. I did have a hard time reinstalling the buttons. I am hoping this will become a homebase for my PLN. I am all for using resources that have already been developed for free use and Delicious can provide a quick access to them. It could also keep track of good blogs as well as good websites. My user name is mbsjeep on delicious so you can check out some of my Chemistry resources. I am hoping to add teacher leadership as well as WEB 2.o resources as we finish the class.
I do feel this essential may have been better placed as the beginning of the list as a way to organize the many resources provided and found throughout the class.

I'm glad you found Delicious a little more useful this time. I did the same thing. I went to a class on Delicious through RESA and set up my account, but really didn't start using it again until developing this course. Since then I use it all the time to save bookmarks.
ReplyDeleteYou can also add to your Delicious network...go to the person's site (like mine listed in the Essential) and on the right side you will find "add to my network." Then we can all share the bookmarks we find and save time, effort and have more information available for all of us. I will add you to my network!
Thanks also for the feedback on placing the Essential earlier in the course. We tried to place it in a logical sequence, but found that we wanted to teach everything first!
Terrific blog post...very informative and well written...I'm glad you are enjoying the Essentials!

I am glad I was not alone in taking two times to "get it". Now I love it!
