Here is my username in Delicious: Wehnerscience
I hope to use this site this year with my students. I am still exploring this site and still have many questions about it. I am used to putting things into folders, and am thinking that these "tags" become my new folders- so one item may be found in a variety of places. I am not sure I like that- I have to watch how I tag things I guess.
So now the big question looms- how can I use this in my teaching? Well, for students, I am not sure. I have always had a list of links for students to go to from my webpage, so I am trying to come up with a reason as to how this might be better. I guess the one thing Delicious can do is to create a space where I could have students add sites. I am still not convinced however that this is worth the time and effort. I will be interested to see what ideas others have. As for teachers, I definately see this worthwhile to use with my colleagues. We could set up one account for our own use to easily find those websites we all use. My principal always like to clog up our emails with worthwhile sites to read, now he could just post on Delicious.
My biggest excitement is that I can finally SAVE sites at school now! Before, the district would just wipe out anything I saved each night. I can also just have one list- no matter where I go. This by itself, increases productivity!
