Module 7

Sharing bookmarks with others - great idea!
Why it's referred to as Delicious - no idea!

"Adding sites to Favourites" "Bookmarking"...all are words familiar to me. However, I never really used them.

Instead of saving the places which I visited most, I simply began typing the first couple of letters of a site and the drop down menu would give me an abundance of options. Simple.
But what about when I used a friend's computer or a public one? The most visited sites on those machines, were not always my most visited site - so search engines were the next step to finding a place I couldn't remember off the top of my head.

So although I could see the benefit of saving sites as a "Bookmark" or "Favourite", to me, my way, was just as easy.

But then, once again, I am introduced to a way in which I can share all of the great information I might find and "tag" it too!

Now I'm sure not every one would be interested in the sites I visit most - So You Think You Can Dance; Cirque Du Solei; Sydney Trapeze School;

But, as many of my colleagues have already noted, I'm sure there would be people interested in many of the sites I find that make teaching that little bit easier, or those resources that little bit quicker...

So in conclusion, the building of online communities, and creating and sharing not only information, but one's learning, is DELICIOUS...mmmmm - I can only imagine how many people have used this play on words - oh teachers, we're definitely one of a kind!
