Now I know what del.icio.us is, and I have created my account. I immediately see two benefits of using del.icio.us:
1) now I have a way to access my bookmarks regardless of whether I'm at my school, at my night job, on a computer at Admin., or on my laptop at home; and
2) I really enjoy checking out the popular and recent lists!
In clicking on an item in the Hotlist, I found a great site which offers educational games in an arcade format. I could have spent the rest of this evening playing games ranging from choosing antonyms to selecting the state when given its capital. I'm an adult, and I loved playing, so I know the students will, too! The site is http://www.arcademicskillbuilders.com/ and I can't wait to share it with my teachers.
In a library or research setting, I can see students searching for topics of interest, and then getting additional ideas from the comments made by the other folks who've bookmarked a site of mutual interest.
Also, before I finish commenting on Week 6, I want to say that I have found the tutorials from commoncraft to be so helpful, clear, and simple. I'm a visual learner, and the style of these tutorials works for me.
