Delicious Discovery!


WWW = What a Wonderful World! 


As I work on multiple computers, this is a very useful tool! At home I have the desktop and a laptop. At work, there are 2 computers in the library, 12 in the Learning Center and 1 in each classroom. I usually go away to the beach on weekends and there I don’t have internet connection, so I have to go to those Cyber Cafés. Now, I can have all my favorite sites at my fingertips!


The most amazing thing is the possibility of sharing the bookmarks! Before, I used to recommend sites to students and repeat addresses all the time. Now, they can have all of them there and they can even follow me. It’s about sharing and following! Some sites can be kept private, though. We can find other people interested in the same topic, check out their researches and follow them!  We can subscribe to the person’s site and whenever that person finds something new on that topic, we can know the person has found it and we can add it to our site.  

Another thing I like in Del.icio.us is the fact now my favorite list is neat. When tagging, we have to be very specific so that we won’t waste time later on trying to remember what that site is all about.
Gil has also recommended DIIGO, which is another amazing bookmarking tool! So many possibilities... 

What a Wonderful World out there to be explored!

  1. Hi Helô,

    The two things I like the best with bookmarking sites are:
    1. The availability of your favourite sites at any time, any place (whether you move from one classroom to another, find yourself somplace and you suddenly need to access one of your favourite sites, or to use them on multiple computers at the same time.
    2. Possibility to sort them out by using tags so we don't have to look for sites but for specific features we need.
    Great tool indeed.

  2. Dear Helô,
    Social bookmarking has probably been one of my all time favorites since I started this endless journey into web 2.0 and its use in the classroom.
    I am also a multitasker with a desktop on, laptop, Ipad, IpodTouch, cel phone... Having our bookmarks available anywhere we are, safe and sound is a real treat for me.
    I am also glad you have liked DIIGO and,as Donna suggested, I have shared the link to my account on our wiki so everybody can access it.
    Thank for your thoughtful posts. Learning loads with you!!
    Happy Easter!!
