Thing 14 Delicious

Include your Delicious username in this blog post so that others can view the bookmarks that you have chosen to share.

My username is lemenum.

Reflect on how you think social bookmarking can be used in your teaching.

I'm anxious to see if I can access delicious from our school network. I have a feeling it might be blocked. Anything with the potential for something inappropriate to slip through is blocked. it's frustrating that even the teachers are blocked from using these wonderful social networking tools. Well, that's my rant for the day... maybe I'll go back to school and find this one is available.
Anyway, if we look at it at home, the potential for sharing resources within a building, the district and of course beyond are really great. It's just a matter of organizing and training teachers to use it.

Does Delicious seem to be a tool that can enhance your productivity?

It could certainly be a time saver. I have lost so many good bookmarks when the district has come in over the summer and whipped our computers to "start clean" or load new operating systems. I used to email myself links and put them into folders in order have access to them at home and at work. This is much easier, and with multiple tags, I should be able to retrieve sites more quickly.
