Delicious was a pretty cool site. It is nice to know you can bookmark your most used sites and access them anytime you're on the internet. I especially liked that you can not only do a search but you can also get "opinions" of others who liked sites enough to bookmark, which gives you a good idea of whether site is really worth checking out. I did a search for some elementary lesson plans and found some sites with more than 10,000 bookmarks! So, I'd say Delicious could really help as a teacher.
Google Reader....eh, not so much a fan. Mostly because I just don't do a whole lot of searching for stuff on the web, and at this point in my life I sure as heck don't have time to be reading extra stuff! :) I could see how Reader would be useful for keeping up to date on stuff....when one has time for that sort of thing.
Library Thing was alright.....again, I think I could utilize this site when I had more time to read. I did, however, add our lovely textbook to my library. :) I can definitely see how Library Thing would be useful in teaching - it would be nice to get reviews of books from others who have read them before implementing them in the classroom.
True, Google Reader is more useful for folks who have a major research paper in their future. I don't believe you have to do anything like that in the MAP program. I may need to reconsider covering the RSS Reader in this class.
ReplyDeleteAs you build a classroom collection Library Thing may come to mind again, but until then...
I am glad you liked Delicious, though. :-)
