New Thinking From Class

Today during class I learned about social bookmarking, how to use Delicious, what a Wiki is and how to use a Wiki. Before this class, I did not really know what a Wiki was or how I would incorporate it into my classroom. I now know that a Wiki is an internet site that can be edited and added to by anyone. In our course, the Wiki will have information about what we did during class. This is a very neat idea so if you miss something or don’t quite remember what we went through, you can look at the Wiki and get all the information. I also really enjoyed learning about social bookmarking and using Delicious. I get so frustrated with bookmarking and adding websites as my favorites because I end up with so many. Then I go to delete some and later on wish I wouldn’t have. Delicious is a neat program where you can bookmark websites, add tags so you can easily find all your favorite websites in a category and even share the websites with others. As a teacher, this will be a great way to find websites that other teachers have found useful. I learned how much is out there on the internet and available to us for free. I think it’s very important to keep up with technology and use these resources. They can benefit us as teachers and help our students. I look forward to finding out what other programs are out there that will benefit me as a teacher and can’t wait to start adding bookmarks to my Delicious.
