Thing #17- Tagging and social bookmarking with Del.icio.us
Made with free image tools @ TXT2PIC.com
This tool has great potential. Prior to this assignment, I have remarked that the "favorites" option is helpful, but after awhile becomes messy and overwhelming. There is no way to sort through what has been added. Using del.icio.us, however, allows it all to be stored in one place. The tags then help ensure that it is all organized, rather than just compiled into one long list. It is great for personal use, as well as for research assignments, projects, etc. There are times where one finds a great site, goes to another, and then forgets the first one. With this program, though, one just has to click the tag button and it is all saved for future reference.
The best part of this service, I believe, is the social aspect. I cannot get over how helpful this can be, especially for those working in the field of education! Think of all the new and creative lesson plans that could emerge from all of us sharing! New sites for instruction, new ways of doing things, the possibilities are enough to get anyone excited!
