Module 7

I have known of Delicious for a while but never actually used it until now, mostly because I always have my laptop with me and therefore my bookmarks. But it really is a great solution for people who might access many different computers in a day and aren't able to use the bookmarks they create on any one of them. It's a vehicle for enabling sharing of bookmarks and I can see how teachers (and students) can collaboratively contribute bookmarks as resources and even bibliographies to topics or projects then use them anywhere, anytime.

As a matter of fact, a colleague asked me the other day to transfer (export) her bookmarks on her local classroom computer because she would be moving to a different classroom. I know how to do that, but Delicious is a much more efficient solution, storing it all on the web. So I will show her how to use this application.

I have exported and uploaded all of mine now, as well as adding several people to my network because 3 brains are better than one!
