Tool # 5
After reading about tagging and checking out the social bookmarking sites Delicious and Diigo, I was pretty excited with the possibilities for saving time and getting more organized. I have been bookmarking educational sites I liked, but without any real organization. There is so much info out there; it's sometimes overwhelming. Also, I liked the ability to save the content on a web page so that you don't have to worry about it not being there when you come back to it later on. I used the tag words "early childhood education" on Diigo to find the web site "Cybrary Man's Educational Web Sites." I liked this site because it catalogued educational web sites so that you could look up specific areas like Pre K and sites for info and advice for new teachers. From this site, I found another web site called Pre Kinders that had a lot of resources for Pre K teachers. This site could definitely help me with ideas and advice for setting up and managing my class.

These bookmarking sites were a real eye-opener for me too. I had been using the Favorites tool bar for saving websites used in the library, but that meant I had to keep each individual computer updated. This summer, I've created a Delicious account and organized all my favorites in it so next year, both teachers and students will be able to access my sites regardless of what computer they're using. Ain't technology grand?? :-)
