Thing 14
I just explored del.icio.us today, and I must admit that until I played around on the site, I was a little skeptical as to how I was going to use it in my classroom. However, after tagging several sites, it became clear that the list I was creating was saving me a great deal of time (no more wasting precious planning periods searching for that “one” site)! I also felt that I got a much more relevant list from my search results as opposed to when I search for a particular topic on a search engine.
I chose the topic of Ancient Rome simply because we are studying the Roman Empire in my social studies class. The list I created can now be posted on Edline, and I can control the sites that I want my students to explore for their Ancient Rome project. Link to my list: http://del.icio.us/jrbroad I plan on using del.icio.us again next year for our Egypt and Greek projects.
