Module 7 Delicious

Delicious could be both a hindernce as well an in exciting tool. Providing you are organised, the account will work really well for you, otherwise, your most needed information can become lost among your less relevant bookmarks. So, BE ORGANISED!! This is especially important for our students as they learn to use these tools. They most understand what it means to be selective and not just bookmark anything they come accross. Using this as a researching tool in class is a fantastic idea. As a teacher, you could have a class account that bookmars sites specific to that subject. This models for students that there are a host of well informed, interesting information sites they can source from. It is impoertant to teach out students to go far beyong "Wikipedia" and use a number of sources for their researching. Here, we can provide a platform for them to begin more in depth research, and to be more selective about the information they use and document.
