Module 7

Delicious is a great program for tagging resources. I currently use this type of resource via the favourites menu, which also incorporates all the other websites that I use that are unrelated to school.

As teachers we have more than likely visited hundreds of sites, only some of which I have added to my favourites, which is the problem, they are only my favourite ones. This type of program allows you to add all the hundreds of sites you visited, give a useful summary that can allow teachers to look back on years later and use. And what is best is I can use this on any computer.

Furthermore, the ability to share these tags is extremely useful. Teachers are constantly sharing resources but this application makes it easier for teacher to eliminate some of the discussion in between and click into their account to see what online resources have been used. However, the application can be made more useful if all teachers have a delicious account that they use appropriately. A cultural change in the teaching profession may have to be implemented to ensure this. In the meantime, there are enough members to begin a process of sharing.
